Donghui Li is a Senior Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, specializing in cancer genetics, genomics, and molecular epidemiology. Her research focuses on pancreatic cancer susceptibility, genetic risk factors, and gene-environment interactions. Recent work includes predictive prioritization of enhancers associated with pancreatic disease risk in Cell Genomics, alongside multi-omic cohort studies investigating fatty acid metabolism, cardiometabolic phenotypes, and diabetes risk in Chinese populations. Professor Li's investigations integrate cancer genomics with metabolic biomarkers to advance precision prevention for pancreatic and cardiometabolic diseases. This work reflects a broad translational agenda connecting genetic determinants, metabolic health, and chronic disease outcomes across distinct ancestries.
