An interview with Min Li, Ph.D. Interviewed by Vicki Glaser.

摘要

Dr. Min Li is Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Johns Hopkins Ion Channel Center. He was born in China and came to the United States in 1985 for graduate school. He received his Ph.D. in molecular biology and genetics from Johns Hopkins University and carried out his postdoctoral training in neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco. He worked at Affymax Research Institute on peptide and antibody display technologies after post doctoral research. In 1994, he returned to join the Johns Hopkins faculty. His research has focused on chemical and molecular regulation of membrane excitability, drug regulation of ion transport, and technological development for high-throughput ion channel screening. Work by his laboratory has provided considerable mechanistic insights into subunit assembly and macromolecular organization of ion channels. He is the author of more than 70 research articles and inventor for 12 patents on ion channels.
