Biography:
Dr. Li joined Prof Alan Roberts’ lab in the University of Bristol to study motor control using Xenopus tadpoles after obtaining his PhD in the Institute of Biophysics in Beijing. He was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2006 and moved to the University of St Andrews, where he became a reader in 2015. He has about 40 publications on the neurophysiology of motor control, mostly on how the spinal and hindbrain circuits control rhythmic movements in tadpoles.
