Status
Dr. Zhiping Li is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Pennsylvania Cancer and Regenerative Medicine Research Center, a part of the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. She completed her Ph.D. at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, P.R.C, and previously worked as Research Assistant at Shandong University
background
Dr. Zhiping Li holds a Medical Degree in Medicine from Shandong University, Jinan, China, and a Ph.D. in Obstetrics and Gynecology from Shanghai Jiao Tong Univeresity, Shanghai, China.
Previous research has focused on lncRNAs participated in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Having made many of the original discoveries in the PCOS related long non-coding RNAs herein, my expertise in bioinformatics analysis and the function of non-coding transcripts research is supposed to be competent in the proposed research. Also, my experience in cell-cycle control and cell proliferation study helped me better understand and conduct experiments under the advisory of Dr. Pestell.
