Peng Li, MD, PhD

Languages spoken: English

Dr. Li is an associate professor of pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine. She received her MD and master of science in microbiology at Peking University Health Science Center in Beijing, China.

Thereafter, she went on to complete a doctor of philosophy in molecular pharmacology and structural biology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. She served as a pathology resident in anatomic and clinical pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, and subsequently relocated to California to pursue a hematopathology fellowship at Stanford University. She also completed a molecular genetic pathology fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. She is board certified by the American Board of Pathology in anatomic and clinical pathology (AP/CP), as well as hematopathology and molecular genetic pathology.

Dr. Li’s areas of interest include myeloid and lymphoid malignancies and her current research interests include genetic aspects of malignancy and myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition.
