Amy Li

Amy Li is an Associate Professor at Torrens University Australia, holding adjunct positions at the University of Sydney and La Trobe University. She leads the Chronic Disease Theme in the Centre for Healthy Futures (CHEF) and directs Higher Degree Research in Health. Her expertise spans cardiovascular and musculoskeletal physiology, leveraging biophysical, imaging, and omics techniques to study heart failure mechanisms, genetic cardiomyopathies, and peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Education:

• PhD in Medicine, University of New South Wales (2012–2015)
• Anatomy & Histology (Honours), University of Sydney (2011–2011)
• Bachelor of Science, University of Sydney (2008–2010)

Research Interests: Molecular basis of heart failure, inherited cardiomyopathies, peripartum cardiomyopathy mechanisms, and population-based gene association studies. Her work integrates omics and imaging techniques to understand cardiovascular health across aging and disease.

Publications Trends: Recent articles focus on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotypes, neutrophil dynamics in atrial fibrillation, and novel imaging tools for heart tissue analysis. Her research emphasizes molecular signaling pathways and post-transcriptional regulation in cardiac diseases.

Awards & Funding: No explicit awards listed. Active grants include studies on heart failure mechanisms and genetic factors in hypertension. She collaborates internationally via the Sydney Heart Bank, advancing global cardiovascular research.

Advising & Labs: Supervises PhD projects on heart failure genetics, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and population hypertension. Requires students to have bioinformatics or biostatistics experience. Affiliated with CHEF and the Sydney Heart Bank, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations.
