    • About

    Fenglei Li completed his Ph.D. at the University of Science and Technology of China under the supervision of Dr. Zhigang Tian, uncovering a new subset of liver-resident γδ T cells maintained by gut microbiota-derived lipids. Currently guided by Dr. Kaushik Choudhuri, Fenglei delves into the mechanics of endogenous γδTCR and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR), while also studying microvesicles released by activated αβ T cells. Apart from his research, Fenglei enjoys spending time with family, playing soccer, watching movies, and reading.
