Longbo Li was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania from Jan 2021 to Jun 2022 working with Prof. Gary A. Molander developing visible light-mediated synthetic methods for DNA-encoded libraries and difunctionalization of [1,1,1]propellane. She earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry at University of California, Santa Cruz in 2020 under the supervision of Prof Rebecca Braslau working on internal plasticization of poly(vinyl chloride) to minimize leaching of toxic plasticizers. She is interested in combining her background in organic synthesis, DNA-encoded library technology, and polymer chemistry for developing new radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and treatment of human cancers.
