About this episode

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Li Li, Ph.D. Dr. Li is a Research Fellow in the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Her work focuses on regenerative medicine and gene therapy, with a specific interest in skin aging, wound healing, and inflammatory skin disorders. In her most recent pre-print, Dr. Li introduces a groundbreaking mRNA-based therapy targeting the ATF3 gene to combat skin aging. By integrating computational biology, machine learning, and genetic engineering, her work is paving the way for innovative treatments in dermatology and beyond. By collaborating closely with dermatologists and clinicians to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and patient care, her work has the potential to revolutionize dermatology, offering new approaches to skin rejuvenation and regenerative therapies.
