244 Kottman Hall

Dr. Jun Li will be here to interview for the Discovery Themes, Emerging Infectious Disease Ecology, Predictive Ecosystem Modeling, and Environmental Health Sciences position in the Department of Molecular Genetics on Monday, April 25th and Tuesday, April 26th. All are invited to attend. Below is a brief synopsis of his credentials.

Dr. Jun Li performed his graduate work in secretion expression of heterologous proteins in E. coli. at the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and in the structure and function of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxinin at Oklahoma State University.  In 2010, he joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry where his current research interest focuses on Plasmodium parasite infection pathways in vectors using combinational approaches of genomics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. The goal of his studies includes blocking malaria transmission through vaccines and small molecules. In addition, he has published 17 papers in peer-reviewed Journals and teaches major courses in genomics and biochemistry to both graduate and undergraduate students.
