2020 students in the lab

Dr. Li’s lab is one where we value enrichment, and every lab member is like a part of our family.

We regularly go to several conferences per year such as ASBMR, IADR, or IABMR (where Dr. Li is the Co-Founder and Vice President). This not only is helpful for the furthering of career paths for lab members, but is often a fun outing:

We hold in-lab weekly journal clubs, which are always fun and informative! We also hold weekly reports and occasional workshops to guide the members into a better direction.

While we value academics and research-oriented goals, we believe a healthy body will yield a sound mind. That is why we have occasional physical competitions in many areas such as ping-pong, swimming, basketball, etc. You name it, we play it! (Yearly sports competitions)
