Guojun Li, MD, PhD, MS
Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Division of Surgery
About Dr. Guojun Li
Guojun Li, M.D., Ph.D. is a professor of head and neck surgery and epidemiology at the UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. He received his MD with a major in medicine and public health from the Tongji Medical University and earned his MS in food and biomedical nutrition from the North Dakota State University, subsequently his PhD training in the cellular and molecular biology at the same university. He then obtained his PhD in molecular epidemiology and cancer chemoprevention from the University of Texas at Houston, School of Public Health and continued his NCI-R25 postdoctoral cancer prevention training at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Li maintains active and productive translational research on cancer treatment, early detection and prevention. He combines his cellular and molecular expertise with his epidemiological skills and approaches to identify biomarkers and to use these biomarkers to identify subgroups at high-risk for cancer prevention and prediction of clinical outcomes. He has established several independent & translational research programs and developed two nation-wide larger patients-based molecular and translational epidemiological studies on head and neck cancers. He is also developing two larger longitudinal following up studies for his future research on cancer early detection and outcome prediction. He received numerous NIH-funded and Texas-funded grants as a principal investigator or co-investigator, as well as a co-leader. All these projects are to identify susceptible molecular biomarkers for treatment, early detection, and prevention of head and neck and thyroid cancers. More recently, Dr. Li, together with his collaborators, has studied the role of HPV in head and neck cancer and confirmed the importance of HPV16 as a risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer in cancer patient population. He will further focus on AI-driven integration of imaging, histopathology, and molecular biomarkers for precision oncology in HPV-associated head and neck cancers and identify potential risk and clinical outcome factors for HPV-associated malignancies.
