Research Description

Dr. Li Li is interested in the innate and adaptive immune response of the kidney to ischemia-reperfusion injury and transplantation. She works both immune cells in vitro as well as in animal models of kidney ischemia-reperfusion and transplantation. Currently Li Li is studying the mechanism of adenosine 2A agonists on NKT cells, dendritic cells and macrophage subtypes mediating kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury protection.
