Dr. Kui Li is a Professor at Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He graduated from Wuhan University of China and appointed as a full Professor at Huazhong (Central China) Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in China since 1996, respectively. He used to be a visiting scholar at the University of Sydney, Australia and a full-time visiting Professor at the Cornell University, USA. Prof. Li’s research interests include pig genome and breeding, pig genetic engineering, experimental mini-pigs and medical models. He has been working on these fields for more than 3 decades. Since 1996, Prof. Li systematically compared the multi-omics of different developmental stages of Chinese and Western pig breeds and found lots of multi-level molecular markers. He also identified several hundreds of molecular markers related to porcine economic traits which are used to develop pig breeds. He established steady platforms for porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer, pronuclear injection, and genome editing techniques. He also established the techniques to develop genetic modified pigs with multi-gene compound traits, controllable expression and friendly gene locus site directed integration. Excitingly, Prof. Li’s research group generated more than 20 new breeding materials for agriculture including MSTN-edited pigs, anti-porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome pigs. His research group also generated genome edited pigs for biomedicine including cardiovascular disease and diabetes models, which showed great application perspective. Prof Li is a founder of Agsino Gensources Co., Ltd., an animal biotechnology breeding company.
