A Passion for Helping Others Leads to a Career in Pathology

Born and raised in Northeast China, Dr. Xinna Li, Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Pathology, has always been passionate about helping others. Her journey began with a childhood fascination with medicine. “I remember as a very young child, bandaging a cut on my brother’s leg. Then, as a teen, my cousin became very ill and I observed how medical treatment could cure illnesses. That is when I realized that I wanted to be a doctor,” recounted Li. Driven by the desire to make a difference, she pursued a medical degree in pediatric hematology from China Medical graduating in 1994.

The antibody, anti-C5a, was originally developed in the Dr. Peter Ward laboratory in the early 2000s. The mAb was shown to dramatically reduce lung infections in polymicrobial sepsis in mice.
