Jing Li, PhD is a Professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine. She also serves as the Director of Pharmacology & Metabolomics Core at Karmanos Cancer Institute. Dr. Li obtained her PhD from National University of Singapore and completed postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University. Her research spans several key areas of oncology clinical pharmacology, with a particular focus on the development of mechanistic pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodyanmics (PD) models for predicting the disposition and action of anticancer drugs in the human central nervous system (CNS) and brain tumors. The quantitative understanding of the CNS PK/PD is critical to the rational development of new drugs and optimal use of existing drugs for more efficacious and safer treatment of brain cancer. Her research is funded by the National Cancer Institute R01 grant.
