Dr Li is a final-year neurology trainee and the Nick Blair Movement Disorders Fellow in 2025. He has previously trained in Melbourne and Tasmania. He is an aspiring clinician-scientist with an interest in movement disorders and cognitive neurology.

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.

Outside of medicine, Dr Li is an avid classical pianist and accompanies the Parkinson’s “Park and Sing” Choir at NeuRA.
