Qingsheng Li, Willa Cather Professor
School of Biological Sciences and Nebraska Center for Virology
University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Dr. Li's research is focused on studying HIV-1 pathogenesis, transmission and prevention using single cell in situ analyses and in vivo SIV-rhesus macaque and humanized-BLT (bone marrow liver and thymus) mouse models of HIV-1 infection. He has published extensively on HIV/SIV transmission, pathogenesis and prevention, including one paper in Science and two papers in Nature as the lead author.
