Yulong Li is a professor at Peking University and a New Cornerstone Investigator. Dr. Li received his bachelor's degree from Peking University and Ph.D. degree from Duke University. He took postdoctoral training at Stanford University. After that, he started his lab at Peking University in 2012. Now his lab is focusing on developing advanced imaging probes to untangle the complexity of nervous system in space and in time. Capitalizing on the advancement of research toolkits, he also studied the regulation of synaptic transmission, focusing on the modulation of presynaptic transmitter release in health and disease conditions. Specifically, he developed a non-invasive system “Paris” for opto-genetic mapping of electric synapses, and a toolbox of genetically-encoded sensors (GRAB sensors) for imaging neurotransmitters/ modulators. Dr. Li is awarded the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, National Award for Excellence in Innovation, the “XPLORER PRIZE” by Tencent Foundation, CNS-CST Outstanding Neuroscientist Award, PKU & Boehringer-Ingelheim Faculty Research Award and so on.
