Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (FCM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Full Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with full dedication to teaching, research, and outreach. Dr. Li earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Paraná in 1989 and received his PhD from McGill University in 2000 with the thesis "Static and dynamic properties of epileptogenic lesions", ranked among the top 10 and included in the Deans Honor List. He obtained his livre-docência (habilitation) from the School of Medical Sciences at UNICAMP in 2005.He has specialized training in neurology, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging from world-class institutions including the Instituto de Neurologia y Neurocirugía in Havana (1992), the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery Queen Square, London (19931995), and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, Canada (19952000). He is part of the Epilepsy Surgery Program and the Neuroimaging Laboratory at UNICAMP.Dr. Li has published over 200 scientific articles in national and international journals in the areas of epilepsy, stroke, neuroimaging, neuroscience, and healthcare management. He is the founding president and a volunteer at ASPE (Assistance for the Health of Epilepsy Patients www.aspebrasil.org), a non-governmental organization responsible for the WHO Demonstration Project in Brazil as part of the Global Campaign Against Epilepsy. In 2013, he was named Ambassador for Epilepsy by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE). In 2006, he developed and implemented the Stroke Patient Care Program at UNICAMP and coordinated a regional alliance for stroke prevention and care in Campinas.He had served as Dissemination Coordinator for the CInAPCe (Interinstitutional Cooperation for Brain Research Support) and BRAINN (Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology) programs, both supported by FAPESP.In the field of management, Dr. Li holds a specialization in Hospital Management from UNICAMP, a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas), and is UNICAMPs coordinator in the Educational Network Lean Advancement Initiative (MIT). He leads the UNICAMP Research Group on Innovation and Healthcare Management.Beyond academia, he is the Innovation Coordinator at the Research, Development and Innovation Center of Ibrachina Ibrawork at the UNICAMP Technology Park and serves as Vice President of Programs and Projects at the Campinas Forum for Innovation and Sustainability (FISC), a coalition of over 40 institutions in the region, where he explores new frontiers for the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, integrating science with sustainable business models and the development of public policies.

The central biological questions of our RIDC is the investigation of basic mechanisms that lead to epilepsy and stroke and the injury mechanisms that follow the disease onset and progression, and are related to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Our goals are to develop new methods and techniques to improve the understanding of mechanisms of damage, plasticity and repair in epileps…
This research proposal is centered in the study of refractory mesial temporallobe epilepsy (MTLE) by high resolution structural MRI, receptor imaging and historadiological correlations. This approach will allow the development of methods for correlating in vivo and ex vivo imaging. Accordingly, we devised three projects that will investigate the basis of MRI signal alteration, serotonin t…

Ischemic stroke is a disease with a high incidence rate, both in the industrialized and non-industrialized worlds, being responsible for high morbidity and mortality among its victims, predominantly in the elderly age group. After the occurrence of the event, however, it has been shown by previous studies that the nervous system acts to reorganize itself to compensate for the functions af…
Stroke is the leading cause of functional disability in adults. Among the most compromising functional consequences for the post-stroke patient, the muscular weakness of a hemicorp is the most prevalent, affecting upper and lower limb function contralateral to the brain injury. Neuroimaging studies have shown that post-stroke patients with motor symptoms have, in addition to a decrease in…
Epilepsy imposes a great psychosocial burden not only on the patient but also on the family and society. Often, people with epilepsy do not reveal the diagnosis, since sharing about their condition can lead to discrimination and social isolation. Stigma, as defined by Goffman, is "the situation of the individual who is disqualified from full social acceptance," related to the distance bet…

The history of exercise science over the second half of the twentieth century is filled with spectacular triumphs but also some epic failures. The successes consist in discovering a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the beneficial effects of physical activity on health and raising the awareness not only of the medical community but also of the public at large. The failures are the …
Currently, chronic diseases are major public health challenges. Stroke is an example and ranks as the leading cause of death in Brazil and the leading cause of physical, cognitive and social disability acquired in adult life in the world. In 2012, the Ministry of Health approved the Healthcare Plan for Stroke. However, investments without adequate local management plan, without articulati…
