Biography
Tao Li, PhD is an postdoctoral research fellow at Boston children’s hospital and Harvard medical school. Dr. Li has got his PhD degree in the summer of 2015, and his thesis work focused on autism-related gene neurexin and its role in synaptic vesicle cycle and in visual system. He published one paper in Neuron in 2013 and another in Journal of Biological Chemistry in 2015. He joined Piao lab as a postdoctoral fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 2015. Now his study focuses on adhesion GPCRs and their roles in brain development and diseases.
