Lecturer：
Prof. Li Qingxiao，Department of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa
Biography：
Dr. Qing X. Li received his Ph.D. in agricultural and environmental chemistry from the University of California at Davis in 1990 and then post-doctoral training in the University of California at Berkeley, USA. He joined the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1995 as an assistant professor, was tenured and promoted to an associate professor in 1999 and to a full professor in 2002. He was director of pesticide residue chemistry laboratory between 1995 and 2013. He has been director of UH proteomics core facility since 2011. His research is centered on agrochemicals relevant to proteomics, phytopharmaceuticals, food chemistry, pesticides and E-fate of agrochemicals. His research has resulted in over 280 peer-reviewed scientific publications. He filed 12 patents and licensing technologies. His papers were cited for more than 5000 times. His current H-index is 40 and his current i10-index is 144. His research in proteomics focuses on palm peroxidase and glycoproteomics. He and his colleagues discovered that basil essential oil is a potent insecticide. Recently, he and his colleagues discovered C-glycosylflavones for Alzheimer’s disease treatment and elucidated the novel mechanism of action being selective ATP noncompetitive inhibition to glycogen synthase kinase-3β.
