Yulong Li (Chinese: 李毓龙; born in 1978) is a Chinese neuroscientist. Currently he is a professor in the School of Life Sciences at Peking University, a principal investigator of PKU-THU Center for Life Sciences and IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research at Peking University.[1][2][3]

Education and early life[edit]

Li was born and raised in Fujian Province, China. He received his B.S. with a major in biophysics and physiology at Peking University in 2000. He joined George Augustine’s lab at Duke University and received his Ph.D. in 2006. From 2006 to 2012, he conducted his postdoctoral research in Richard Tsien’s lab at Stanford University.[4]

Research[edit]

Yulong Li grew up in Fujian, China. He studied biophysics and physiology as an undergraduate student at Peking University. During his PhD training, he focused on the fundamental mechanisms of neuronal modulation under the guidance of George Augustine, at Duke University. He then moved all the way to the west coast and conducted his postdoctoral research in Richard Tsien’s lab at Stanford University, where he developed a genetically-encoded indicator called pHTomato. Yulong started his own lab at Peking University at the end of 2012. His research interests have been focused on developing advanced biophotonic sensors to understand the communication between neurons. His group has developed a series of novel genetically-encoded fluorescent sensors, so-called GRAB (GPCR Activation Based) sensors, for real-time detection of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, such as ACh, DA and NE, in vivo. His group also developed the first entire genetically-encoded optogenetic method PARIS (pairing actuators and receivers to optically isolate gap junctions) for functionally mapping gap junctions. Besides tool development, his group is also interested in illuminating the functions of GPCRs. His was one of the groups that independently deorphanized primate-specific Mas-related GPCR member X4 (MRGPRX4) with its native substrate bile acids, and identified its physiological function in mediating cholestatic itch. Yulong teaches Neurobiology to undergraduate and graduate students, and guides the Undergraduate Research Honors Program in Biology (UHRB) program at Peking University.[5]
