The Myasthenia Gravis Rare Disease Network (MGNet) has awarded the 2021 MGNet Scholar Award to Dr. Kevin Li, a postdoctoral associate from Duke University with over 10 years of professional training in Medicine and neurology, and a concentration in autoimmune neuromuscular disease.
Dr. Li has years of experience in MG clinical practice and clinical trials which makes him an excellent candidate to enhance clinical trial readiness and the discovery of biomarkers in this rare disease. Dr. Li’s proposed project, “Investigation of CD8 T cells immune signatures in myasthenia gravis" will help develop a comprehensive understanding of the CD8 T cell response in MG patients and define immune signatures of CD8 T cells in IS naïve MG as well as predictive biomarkers of clinical response to IS.
