Research in Dr. Li's laboratory explores the mechanism involved in autoantibody-induced epidermal cell detachment (acantholysis).  Current studies are listed below:

• Role of proteases in acantholysis
• Role of apoptosis in acantholysis
• Role of P53 transcription factor in acantholysis
• Role of carbohydrate moieties on desmogleins on autoantibody-induced acantholysis

Dr. Li's research is NIH-funded.
