Dr. Leyuan Li is one of the three finalists selected to present their manuscripts during the manuscript competition in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO2024. Their talks will be evaluated by a panel of experts to select the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year”. Dr. Leyuan Li will be presenting her work:
"Revealing proteome-level functional redundancy in human gut microbiome using ultra-deep metaproteomics.”
Dr. Leyuan Li is currently a Junior Principal Investigator at the National Center for Protein Sciences (Beijing), also known as the Phoenix Center. From 2016 to 2022, she was a postdoctoral fellow and research associate at Dr. Daniel Figeys’s lab at the University of Ottawa. Her training included developing in vitro culturing techniques and automating metaproteomics for rapidly assessing personalized microbiome drug responses. In 2022, she started-up the Proteome-level Microbial Systems Ecology (ProMiSE) Lab at the Phoenix Center. Her new endeavor focuses on using metaproteomics and other advanced techniques to unravel the complexities of our internal microbial ecology. Her research aims to provide deeper insights into the ecology and functions of microbial communities within the human body for future personalized interventions.
