Liping is a member of the Project Staff. Her research focuses on the roles of chemokine receptors such as CXCR3, D6 and CXCR2 in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis by using animal models such as EAE. Currently, she is investigating the role of the chemokine receptor CXCR2 in demyelination and remyelination in three different demyelination and remyelination animal models.
