ZHIPING LI, M.D., PH.D
Status
Dr. Zhiping Li is currently an Associate Professor in the Pennsylvania Cancer and Regenerative Medicine Research Center, a part of the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. She previously held the position of Assistant Professor, Department of Cancer Biology, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA
background
Dr. Zhiping Li holds a Medical Degree in Clinical Medicine and a Master Degree in Internal Medicine from Shanxi Medical University in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, and a Ph.D. in Hematology from Beijing Medical University in Beijing, China. She did clinical practice in Internal Medicine and Hematology as a Physician in the 2nd Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Her 1st postdoctoral research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York with Dr. B. Hilda Ye focused on studying the role of BCL6 in lymphoma. Since she joined in Dr. Richard G. Pestell’s lab first as a Postdoc and then as a Research Assistant Professor her research focused on studying the role of cyclin D1 in cellular migration, mitochondria function, DNA damage response, and DNA methylation, and investigating the role of Dach1 in tumorigenesis in vivo.
