Welcome Dr. Jiali Li joined PKU-IDG/McGovern Institution for Brain Research
According to the result of Off-campus Recruitment, Dr. Jiali Li joined PKU-IDG/McGovern Institution for Brain Research and National Institute on Drug Dependence, Peking University.
Research Interest:
My research interests are mainly focused on deciphering of the epigenetic bases in the biology of brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Among the laboratory’s accomplishments and ongoing activities are (i) noncoding RNAs-mediated regulations in the biology of brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases; (ii) DNA methylation/demethylation-mediated epigenetic basis in the biology of brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases; (iii) Development and study of nonhuman primate models of age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
