Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Jien Li's research encompasses diverse areas of genetics and biotechnology, including bacterial genetics, RNA and protein synthesis, and the roles of epigenetics and DNA methylation. Li has contributed to understanding how bacterial pan-genomes influence gene essentiality and evolvability. Recent work also explores the potential of chemical reprogramming to reverse cellular aging, as well as the impact of long-term NMN treatment on lifespan and healthspan in mice, with observed sex-dependent effects. Li's investigations into DNA methylation have led to the development of TIME-seq, a method for reducing the time and cost of DNA methylation measurement to construct epigenetic clocks.
Li's primary research interests involve aging and longevity in model organisms, alongside genomics and phylogenetic studies.
