  • Biography

    Li Li, MD, PhD, is a pediatric anesthesiologist, a principal investigator at the Norcliffe Foundation Center for Integrative Brain Research (NFCIBR) at Seattle Children's Research Institute and a member of the University of Washington (UW) Center of Excellence in Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain, and Emotion (NAPE). He seeks to improve medical care involving anesthetics and sedatives by better understanding the brain circuits that regulate arousal, and by developing drugs and technology that can more precisely modulate those circuits.

    Dr. Li received his MD and PhD in neurosciences with Professor Richard Tsien at Stanford University. He then completed his anesthesiology residency at the UW and his pediatric anesthesiology fellowship at Seattle Children's Hospital. He subsequently joined the UW clinical faculty while conducting postdoctoral research with Professor Michael Bruchas. Dr. Li is passionate about mentoring and training the next generation of physician-scientists.

      Arousal control is not binary, but involves the complex orchestration of multiple neuromodulatory circuits. The Li Lab therefore aims to better understand the neurobiology of these circuits across broad spatiotemporal scales, integrating findings at the molecular, synaptic, circuit, physiological and behavioral levels.
