Dr. Li is a Professor of gene delivery/gene therapy and holds the W. T. Louise Jarrett Moran Distinguished Chair at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is one of the pioneers in the use of electroporation – application of electric square wave pulses which creates transient pores in the cell membrane – as a means of cell and tissue transfection for DNA and other therapeutic agents. He is the Chair of the Physical Gene and Cell Therapy Vectorology Committee of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (2009-2011). Dr. Li’s laboratory research utilizes a dual approach to cancer. The first approach involves understanding the interaction which occurs between the host immune cells and tumor cells and how these interactions result in either promotion or inhibition of tumor progression. They have identified several critical genes and continue to unravel the story for these interactions via several tools such as cancer cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, and gene therapy. The second aspect of his laboratory research is using transformative approach to develop electric-home therapy, tumor-targeted gene therapy and chemotherapy and combining these strategies for treating tumors. One of his chemogene therapies has been successful in completely eradicating spontaneous, recurrent tumors in dogs.
