About Me
Hello!
My name is Zhen Li. I use single cell genomics technologies to study brain development and diseases. I completed my PhD training at Yale University, under the supervision of Dr. Nenad Sestan. I will periodically update this website with information I found useful or interesting. Thank you for stopping by!
