Biography

Prof. Li is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the JC School of Public Health and Primary Care and she is focusing on CVD epidemiology and prevention and occupational and environmental exposures on cardiometabolic diseases. She has published over 60 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals. Her recent research focuses on occupational harmful factors (e.g. noise exposure, PAHs and VOCs) and their impacts on human health such as hypertension, hearing loss and metabolism syndrome.

Research Interests

  • CVD epidemiology and prevention

  • Occupational and environmental exposures on cardiometabolic diseases

  • Shift work, lifestyle behaviour (e.g. smoking, physical activity, sleep duration) and health (obesity, metabolism syndrome, CVD, diabetes, hearing loss and mental health)
