Wenliang Li, Ph.D.

Wenliang Li is a postdoctoral fellow in Professor Ed Harlow’s lab, working on identification and investigation of kinases that are either essential for human metastatic cells or have synthetic lethal interactions with oncogene dysregulation. He obtained his PhD in Genetics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. In his PhD dissertation work in Professor Bryan Williams’ lab at Cleveland Clinic Foundation, he found a gene expression signature that predicts primary Wilms tumor relapse and one of the signature genes is also an essential gene for metastatic Wilms tumor cells. Besides science, he likes readings, movies, sports and other outdoor activities.
