معرفی
Julie Li is a Researcher in the Centre for Health Systems and Safety Research at Macquarie University's Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy and focuses on healthcare informatics, patient safety, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Her research explores DNA repair mechanisms, protein misfolding, and ER-Golgi trafficking dysregulation in neurodegenerative disorders. With an h-index of 13 and over 944 citations, her work bridges clinical and molecular insights, emphasizing translational applications in healthcare technology and safety.
Her research interests include understanding the molecular pathways underlying ALS pathology, particularly the role of TDP-43, C9orf72 mutations, and cyclin F defects. She has contributed to studies on ER stress, Golgi fragmentation, and the protective roles of proteins like PDI and ERp57. Julie has also explored healthcare information systems, advocating for safer patient care through technological interventions.
- Education: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Key achievements include awards such as the Australian Institute of Health Innovation Three Minute Thesis (2024), Best Poster at the Context Sensitive Health Informatics Conference (2023), and the Branko Cesnick Award (2024). Her work has been published in high-impact journals, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and healthcare innovation.
Julie collaborates internationally on projects addressing ER-Golgi trafficking defects in ALS and FTD. Her lab’s work on real-time clinical dashboards and mobile point-of-care testing (PoCT) aims to enhance diagnostic efficiency in healthcare settings.
