Symposia Speakers

Dr. Yulong Li is a professor at the School of Life Sciences, Peking University. He received his B.S. from Peking University, Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Duke University, and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford. Since 2012, he has led a lab at Peking University focused on ‘synapse’, creating advanced optical probes to study the brain in space and time. His team developed GRAB sensors, a series of genetically encoded probes for in vivo imaging of neuromodulators such as acetylcholine, monoamines, lipids, and neuropeptides across species, enabling rapid, cell-specific detection in the nervous system.
