Profile of Vivian Li
Vivian Li obtained her PhD at the University of Hong Kong in 2008, characterising human colonic development and tumourigenesis. She then received the Croucher Foundation Fellowship to pursue her post-doctoral training with Hans Clevers at the Hubrecht Institute, where she studied Wnt regulatory mechanisms in intestinal stem cells. Vivian established her own lab initially at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research, one of the Crickâs parent institutes. Her group at the Crick investigates signalling regulation of intestinal stem cell, cancer and tissue repair, with primary focus on Wnt signalling pathways.
