Dr. Yuxing Li obtained her PhD degree from Iowa State University majored in Genetics. After a postdoc training under the supervision of Dr. Susan Carpenter at Iowa State University on lentivirus pathogenesis and persistence, she joined Dr. Richard T. Wyatt’s laboratory in the Vaccine Research Center (VRC), NIAID/NIH as a research fellow. At VRC, Dr. Li interacted and worked closely with scientists working on HIV structural biology, virology, and immunology, including Peter Kwong, Mark Connors, Mario Roederer, and John Mascola. During the training at VRC, Dr. Li started to develop an integrated research program focused on HIV vaccine rational design based on HIV envelope glycoprotein structural and immunologic analysis. In 2010, Dr. Li joined the IAVI Neutralizing Antibody Center at The Scripps Research Institute as an Assistant Professor of Immunology, based in La Jolla, California. In 2014, Dr. Li relocated her laboratory to the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR) in Rockville, Maryland and affiliated with Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine.
