Dr. LI Guo-Min, Professor and James Gardner Endowed Chair in Cancer Research at　 Markey Cancer Center of College of Medicine, University of Kentucky delivered a seminar entitled “Genetic and epigenetic regulations of genome maintenance systems” on Monday, June18th, 2012, hosted by Dr. GUO Caixia , Professor of Beijing Institute of Genomics(BIG).

Dr. LI’s primary research interest is on the studying molecular mechanisms by which lost of DNA repair functions causes cancer and other human diseases.
