Dr. Mufeng Li received her Ph.D. in physiology from Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She subsequently pursued her postdoctoral training at the Molecular Physiology and Biophysics Section in National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), where she studied the structure and function of ATP-activated P2X receptor channels. Before joining Center for Scientific Review, Dr. Li was a Staff Scientist at NINDS. Her research focused on understanding how ion channels operate at the molecular level, and how disease-causing mutations alter the operational mechanisms.
