Liang Li is an Associate Research Scientist at Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on adipose tissue and its implications for metabolism and general health. He investigates the enhancement of energy utilization and the increase in the number of beige adipocytes, a form of thermogenic fat cells, to provide therapeutic benefits for a broad range of metabolic disorders. He aims to understand how thermogenic fat cells are created in vivo and how they determine metabolic phenotypes under various physiological and pathological conditions. His long-term goal is to leverage this understanding to guide strategies that expand metabolically beneficial adipocyte phenotypes for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases.
