Mengze Li (or Vanessa) is a Ph.D. student in Bioinformatics at Boston University. She finished her undergraduate study in Biotechnology at Beijing Normal University and continued to pursue computational biology during her Master’s study at New York University. She was then admitted to Boston University Bioinformatics Ph.D. program to further enhance her research and analysis skills. She is currently advised by Stefano Monti at Boston University and Paola Sebastiani at Tufts Medical Center.

Her research is mainly focused on human aging and exceptional longevity, genetic analysis, molecular biomarker discovery, as well as computational analysis workflow development. She is enrolled in New England Centenarians Study (NECS), Long Life Family Study (LLFS), Integrative Longevity Omics (ILO), and Longevity Consortium (LC). Currently, her main research projects include identifying transcriptomic aging and survival signatures, identifying rare genetic variants that promote human healthy aging and cognitive function, and the development and application of quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis pipelines.
