Yunbo Li (Y. Robert Li) received his MD from Shandong Medical University, MPH from Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, and PhD from Johns Hopkins University. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at University of California at Berkeley/ Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Li’s previous working institutions include University of Sydney/National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (NIOHS) of Australia, UC Berkeley/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions, St. John’s University College of Pharmacy, Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, and Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, and Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences. He joined Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine in January 2013 as Professor and Chair of Department of Pharmacology and Assistant Dean for Biomedical Research. He is currently Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences at Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Sciences and Pathobiology at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Dr. Li is an author of over 100 peer-reviewed publications, three monographs (Antioxidants in Biology and Medicine: Essentials, Advances, and Clinical Applications; Free Radical Biomedicine: Principles, Clinical Correlations, and Methodologies; and Biomedical Research: Strategic Planning for Success), and numerous chapters in respected books.His laboratory currently focuses on investigating oxidative and inflammatory stress mechanisms of disease process and developing mechanistically-based preventive and therapeutic modalities against oxidative/inflammatory injury underlying such common diseases as cardiovascular disorders, obesity/metabolic syndrome, and cancer. The research in his laboratories has been supported by grants from NCI, NHLBI, NIDDK, AICR, and HPRF. Dr. Li has been a mentor for over 30 graduate students, medical/pharmacy students, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists, and assistant professors. He serves as a reviewer for Johns Hopkins NIEHS center grants, NIH grants, and over 30 respected scholastic journals. Dr. Li is Co-Editor-in-Chief for Toxicology Letters, a well-respected and widely read biomedical journal that receives about one thousand manuscripts annually. He has also served as board member for several other respected journals, including Experimental Biology and Medicine, Cardiovascular Toxicology, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, Spinal Cord, and Neurochemical Research. Dr. Li has over 20 years of teaching experience in the areas of biomedical sciences, free radical biology, toxicology, and pharmacology.
