Huiying Li PhD

Dr. Huiying Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA School of Medicine. Her research group investigates the role of the skin microbiome in health and disease, including two most common skin diseases, acne vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. By combining high-throughput technologies, bioinformatics, microbiology, and biochemistry, Dr. Li and her group analyze the genomes, metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and metabolomes of the microorganisms in the human microbiome and their interactions with the host. The findings from these studies can potentially lead to new diagnostics and interventions.
