Dr. Li Li
Bio:
I am an adjunct professor in the Plant Breeding and Genetics Section, School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University. I am also a USDA-ARS Research Molecular Biologist at the Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture and Health on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, NY. Currently, my research program focuses mainly on novel gene discovery, understanding the molecular mechanisms, and developing new strategies and tools for improving the nutritional quality and other important agronomic traits in crops. Outside of the lab, I enjoy home gardening.
