Hongjin Li

Dr. Li's research focuses on three main components: (1) phenotyping, identifying trajectory and predictors (genetic and metabolomic) of the psychoneurological symptom cluster (pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety) experienced by breast cancer survivors; (2) testing and implementing complementary and integrative therapies (i.e., acupuncture) to alleviate cancer-related symptoms among medically underserved breast cancer survivors; and (3) using multi-omics approach to understand the effect and mechanism of acupuncture. She is currently accepting PhD Students.
