Xiangwei Li is a Principle Investigator and Professor at the School of Global Health, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, with research interests focused on epidemiological and molecular epidemiological research, with particular emphasis on aging and elderly health. His research encompasses investigations into animal health, the interplay between environmental health and aging within the general population, exploration of biomarkers associated with population aging through multi-omics technologies and analysis of health patterns within the elderly population. Prior to joining Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Xiangwei Li worked at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College and the German Cancer Research Center, where he gained significant experience in the field of epidemiology and medical research. In recognition of his exceptional academic achievements, Xiangwei Li was honored as a “National Excellent Self-funded Overseas Student” by the China Scholarship Council in 2022.
