Biography

Ning Li received her PHD in Fishery Resource field from Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China in 2014. She later worked in Shandong Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute, Jinan, China. Since 2018, She worked as an assistant professor in Biology Institute, Shandong Academy of Sciences, Jinan, China. 

She learned the electrophysiological detection technique of larval and adult zebrafish from the professor Attila Sik from University of Birmingham, England. Her main interest is in the cardiotoxicity detection of human pharmaceuticals and the protective potential investigation of bioactive compounds derived from marine organisms.

Research

Using the zebrafish model, Ning Li investigates the toxic effect of microplastics and ZnO nanorods on nervous system and unravel the underlying mechanisms. She also analyzed the function and mechanism of action of candidate pathogenic genes from patients with sick sinus syndrome. Besides, She investigated mesenchymal stem cells from placenta.
