Di (Lydia) Li

I am a biochemist using the simplest model E.coli to study a complex biological interaction of enzymes that causes a fetal neural disorder, Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) deficiency. As a PhD candidate at Duke University, I focus on understanding the basis and application of the enzyme MoaC in the  Moco biosynthesis. Toward teaching, I am actively involved in possible teaching experiences by assisting students as a learning assistant, lecturing as a TA, mentoring undergraduates in the lab, and completing Certificate in College Teaching.
