Dr. Li is a Professor in the Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences at Texas A&M University. His long-term goal is to understand the molecular underpinnings of reproductive diseases that negatively impact pregnancy outcome, thereby developing new therapeutic strategies to improve fertility. His current research focuses on defining the mechanism underlying uterine development and the pathogenesis of granulosa cell tumors, a class of poorly defined sex cord-stromal tumors. Dr. Li's laboratory has created novel mouse models with genetic modifications of transforming growth factor β signaling machinery. These models have shed new light on reproduction and cancer.
