Dr. Li received his M.D. from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and appointed as attending physician at Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai Chang Zheng hospital affiliated to Shanghai Second Military Medical University. He continued to pursue his Ph.D. at Shanghai Medical University at the field of calcium imaging and elctrophysiological study of L-type calcium channels, and received several national recognized Awards in his outstanding research. Dr. Li completed his post-doctoral training at electrophsiological study of cloned potassium channels expressed in Xenopus Oocytes at Basic Research Division, Departments of Anesthesiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. From 2002, he started his new training in studying NMDA receptors in DRG neurons innervating the colon at Department of Medicine, CURE Group, Division of Digestive Disease, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His area of expertise includes single channel analysis of voltage gated ion channels, and modulation of NMDA receptors in visceral pain.
