Xiang Li is a research associate professor of pharmacology at the Department of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, University of Houston, USA. The primary focus of her research is vascular pathobiology. Specifically, they are studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, restenosis, hypertension, and arterial stiffness associated with obesity, aging, or chronic kidney disease. They use different physiological, biochemical, and molecular approaches, including gene knockout, surgical intervention, and adenoviral gene delivery. Current research topics include epigenetic regulation, lipid biology, redox signaling, vascular inflammation, cell senescence, and progenitor cell differentiation and recruitment.
