Dr. Yang Li is an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Human Genetics. His research focuses on the interplay between genetics and gene regulation in complex traits and diseases. Through his lab, he develops computational approaches to investigate the genetic effects influencing gene regulatory mechanisms that have historically been overlooked. His team studies key processes such as mRNA splicing, degradation, and other post-transcriptional mechanisms, especially dysregulation in these processes that contributes to complex diseases. Dr. Li's work aims to uncover novel regulatory pathways that could be leveraged for therapeutic targets in medical research.
