Hongwei Li

Dr. Li is trained in molecular biology and virology. He uses his expertise in the development of high efficiency viral vectors to deliver the AT2-receptor gene and the MIF gene to mammalian tissues. He is studying:
  • Role of MIF in the regulation of Ang II actions or neurons.

  • MIF promoter polymorphisms.

  • Role of CNS AT2-receptors in cardiovascular and fluid balance.
