Li Hoi Yeung

Assoc. Prof. Li Hoi Yeung is an Associate Professor and Director (Special Projects) at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). His research spans biomedical sciences, molecular biology, and cancer biology, with a focus on drug discovery, cellular mechanisms, and genetic regulation. He has contributed to studies on Plasmodium invasion, cancer therapeutics, and AI-driven drug screening.

His work integrates experimental and computational approaches, such as molecular docking, proteomics, and multi-omics analysis. Notable contributions include investigations into R-loop resolution in cancer, erythrocyte signaling in malaria, and phase separation in photosynthetic systems. His research also explores mechanobiology in stem cells and protein interactions in cellular processes.

• Key Themes: Cancer biology, infectious diseases, bioinformatics, cellular signaling, and drug discovery.
• Techniques: High-throughput screening, computational modeling (e.g., AlphaFold2), and multi-omics approaches.

Prof. Li’s publications highlight interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in bridging experimental biology with AI-driven methodologies to address complex biological questions. His lab actively develops tools for virtual drug screening and explores novel anti-cancer metabolites from natural products.
