What we study
The Li Lab studies how cancer cells survive stress and die, focusing on ferroptosis, a type of cell death caused by iron-dependent lipid damage. They also explore how selenium protects cells from oxidative stress.

Current projects
Targeting Ferroptosis as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy against Pediatric Neuroblastoma
Investigating ferroptosis as a potential treatment for pediatric neuroblastoma.
Regulation of selenium metabolism and stress response
Studies how the trace element selenium is processed in cells and how it helps them withstand stress, connecting to the lab's work on ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by damaged fats.
