Biography
Dr. Wei Li is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. His research primarily centers on tobacco control and regulatory science, specifically exploring topics such as flavor use, nicotine reduction and health communication (e.g., harm perception, warning messages) regarding e-cigarette use among adolescents and young adults. This investigation is conducted through a series of clinical laboratory studies and longitudinal cohorts representative of the national population (e.g., the PATH Study). Additionally, he holds an interest in other disciplines such as chronic diseases, maternal and child health, mental health science, and sleep medicine.
