Daniel Yuhang Li
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioI am a physician scientist in the Division of Cardiology at Stanford. My clinical interest is at the intersection of inflammation, autoimmunity and cardiovascular disease in a field called 'Cardio-Rheumatology'. Patients with rheumatologic diseases typically have an elevated cardiovascular disease risk profile along with an insidious onset. Moreover, with the ever-expanding biologic drug formulary for patients, it is important for us to characterize the cardiovascular effects of these medications. In my research, I believe that understanding how inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms modify coronary artery disease can help us develop a novel perspective towards treating atherosclerosis beyond lipid lowering. My research goal is to advance novel therapeutics for atherosclerosis by leveraging my expertise in genetics, computational biology, and experience with diverse model organism perturbation models. My strategy employs a ‘systems’ approach, starting with human population variations at the genetic level and integrating findings across RNA, protein, and model organism studies. This comprehensive synthesis aims to grasp the overarching biological narrative, thereby facilitating the development of translational therapies that transform concepts from bench to bedside.

Gordon Li, MD
Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests1.) My laboratory studies the biology of brain tumors with the goal of developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of malignant brain tumors and translating that research into clinical trials.
2.) My clinical interests include improving surgical techniques for brain tumor surgery, immunotherapy for the treatment of glioblastoma, and novel uses for stereotactic radiosurgery. -
Jin Billy Li
Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Li Lab is primarily interested in RNA editing mediated by ADAR enzymes. We co-discovered that the major function of RNA editing is to label endogenous dsRNAs as "self" to avoid being recognized as "non-self" by MDA5, a host innate immune dsRNA sensor, leading us to pursue therapeutic applications in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and viral infection. The other major direction of the lab is to develop technologies to harness endogenous ADAR enzymes for site-specific transcriptome engineering.

David Liang, MD, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular) at the Stanford University Medical Center, Emeritus
BioStanford researchers are creating a micro-device that physicians could guide through the body to help diagnose and treat clogged arteries and other diseases. Tethered to the outside world by a thin wire, a tiny machine creeps through blood vessels, searching out deadly plaques and obliterating them with a zap of a laser. While a laser will come later, for now David Liang, MD, PhD, is focusing on a tiny eye that could give physicians an unprecedented view into blood vessels.
