Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University

Dr. Chenjian Li is currently a Research Fellow at Hoover Institution of Stanford University. He is taking a leave of absence from the position of University Chair Professor, Peking University.

Dr. Li attended Peking University for his undergraduate education, and Peking Union Medical College for training in medicine. He received his Ph.D in Molecular Genetics from Purdue University, USA; postdoctoral training at the Rockefeller University. Dr. Li was an assistant professor and associate professor at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, and then Aidekman Endowed Chair of Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Li embarked on an adventure to Peking University in 2013.

He is a member of the China advisory board for Cornell University and a member of Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company’s China Advisory Committee.

Dr. Li's scientific research focuses on exploring the molecular and cellular basis of higher brain functions, and the mechanisms of neurological diseases. His laboratory pioneered methods of generating transgenic animal models for these studies. For his leading role in this line of research, Dr. Li received C.H. Lee Scholar Award and National Service Award (USA). After returning to Peking University, he continues to serve as a standing member of the National Institute of Health Study Section for Neurological Diseases (CDIN), USA until 2017.
