👩‍⚕️Biography

Dr. Linghua Li is a distinguished physician and researcher specializing in HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, and oncology. With over 25 years of clinical experience, she has made significant contributions to understanding and managing infectious diseases, particularly fungal infections and HIV-related complications.

Dr. Li began her academic journey at the Medical School of Peking University, earning a B.S. in Clinical Medicine in 1997. She then pursued advanced studies at Sun Yat-sen University, completing an M.S. in Internal Medicine in 2008 and a Ph.D. in Infectious Diseases in 2011. She further enriched her expertise through visiting scholar positions at UNC-Chapel Hill (2012) and Duke University (2014), focusing on infectious diseases.

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.
  • Guangdong Natural Science Foundation (Grant No. 10151006002000000): Exploring the role of Phospholipase B in P. marneffei invasion of macrophages in AIDS patients.
  • NIH Fogarty Program: Examining host factors in severe opportunistic complications of AIDS, with a focus on developing targeted prophylactic strategies.

In recent years, Dr. Li has been a Co-PI on groundbreaking HIV PrEP Phase IV clinical trials in Guangzhou, including:

  • ChiCTR2100048981 and NCT04754139: These studies focus on scaling PrEP access for key populations in China. The trial successfully enrolled 1,007 participants by 2023, with 950 already on PrEP, marking it as the largest trial of its kind in China.

Dr. Li’s work emphasizes translational medicine, data-driven public health strategies, and the implementation of novel interventions like PrEP to curb HIV transmission. Her expertise in site coordination, implementation, data collection, and analysis has been pivotal to these efforts.
