Biography

Neill Yun Li leads a peripheral nerve regeneration lab focused on understanding the genetic, cellular, and immunologic responses that occur during nerve injury and regeneration. His research is particularly relevant to the aging population, as he strives to understand the changes that take place in the context of aging. Furthermore, he aims to develop immunomodulatory interventions and biologics that enhance nerve regeneration and preserve muscle viability upon reinnervation, ultimately providing patients with debilitating nerve injuries a chance at recovery through cutting-edge therapies.
