In late 2011, Dr. Yangping Li joined The Parkinson’s Institute to lead a new lab which further extends the Stem Cell work of her colleagues Dr. Schuele and Dr. Nichols. Her research interests are centered on the understanding of the role of mutant LRRK2 in Parkinson’s disease using transgenic models at the organism levels.

Dr. Li is focused on dissecting the early molecular and cellular events in LRRK2 Parkinsonism. As a geneticist, cellular biologist and pathologist, Dr. Li is passionate about using her expertise to unravel the molecular causes of Parkinson’s disease in collaboration with her colleagues at TPI.

Joining Dr. Li in her Lab is Fengeng Sun, PhD.
