Sen Li

Sen Li serves as a Research Consultant in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, affiliated with reNEW and Labs and Platforms. Based at Blegdamsvej 3B in Copenhagen, Li contributes to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of genomics, microbiome science, and conservation biology, with active collaborations spanning international institutions.

Li's research focuses on:

• Genetic diversity mapping in human-impacted ecosystems (Anthropocene)
• Host-microbiota dynamics in aquaculture and animal production
• Climate change effects on terrestrial and avian biodiversity
• Microbiome composition analysis in Atlantic salmon life stages
• Conservation genetics frameworks using IUCN Red List data

Publication trends from 2016-2025 reveal consistent emphasis on large-scale genomic datasets to address conservation and agricultural challenges. Seminal work includes the 2016 Science paper on Anthropocene genetic diversity (557 Mendeley readers) and recent development of the HoloFood Data Portal for multi-omic host-microbiota analysis. This trajectory bridges computational biology, ecological modeling, and sustainable food production systems.

Li actively participates in the reNEW research center's mission for regenerative medicine innovation and leverages the university's Labs and Platforms infrastructure for advanced genomic and microbiome methodologies.
