As the Head Director of the Infectious Disease Center at Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital, Dr. Li oversees clinical trials, patient care, and research initiatives for people living with HIV and at-risk populations. She has been principal investigator (PI) or co-investigator (Co-I) on more than 20 domestic and international research programs. Notable projects include:

  • National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 81301480): Investigating the mechanism and function of Phospholipase B in the growth and pathogenicity of P. marneffei.
