Dr. Xinjian Li received his Ph.D. degree in Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then he took three round of Post-doctoral training in Hong Kong polytechnic University (Hong Kong), Johns Hopkins University(USA) and National institute of Health (NIH, USA). During his research, he used Drosophila, mouse, rat, marmoset and macaque to study fine movement control, neuropathic pain, schizophrenia, decision making, sleep and learning & memory. 

In his Post-doctoral training in NIH, he made great achievement in developing single-cell calcium imaging methods in freely behavior animals. Then he studied the corticospinal neurons in movement control (Cell, 2017) and neuropathic pain(Nature，2018). 

In 2019, he continues his reach on Fine Motor Control and Navigation in Zhejiang University.
