Another major focus is understanding how microglial fate is specified and diverged from other tissue macrophages during early embryonic development. Analysis of Dr. Li's publications reveals a strong focus on microglial states across developmental stages and disease conditions. His work demonstrates how microglia shift from functionally heterogeneous states early in life to a more homogeneous state in adulthood, with identification of distinct subpopulations like PAM (proliferative-region-associated microglia) that share signatures with DAM (disease-associated microglia). His 2024 Immunity paper introduced the Clec7a-CreER mouse model to track microglial states, showing their plasticity during remyelination. 2011-2012 Howard Hughes Vertical Integration Partnership Program Fellowship 2014 Departmental Semester Fellowship, Duke University 2014 Ray J.
