Dr Li hopes to improve the lives of patients with neurodegenerative disorders not only through his clinical practice, but also more broadly through his research work. His PhD project (NeuRA / UNSW) will use patient-derived neurons to better understand the cellular changes in Parkinson’s disease and identify targeted drug treatments, and is generously supported by the Michael & Elizabeth Gilbert Postgraduate Scholarship in Parkinson’s Disease Research.
