She is the computational leader of The Cancer Genome Atlas and CPTAC analyses that link genomes to proteins across cancers, having led pan-cancer analyses of driver mutations and proteogenomic studies connecting genomic alterations to signalling and drug targets. Her selected paper reports the comprehensive characterisation of cancer driver genes and mutations. She continues to work on proteogenomics, whole-genome sequencing and clonal evolution.","asOf":"2026-09-08","links":[{"label":"Ding lab","url":"https://dinglab.wustl.edu"},{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Ding%20L%5BAuthor%5D"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":["proteomics","wes-wgs"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["wustl-siteman"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"David English Smith Distinguished Professor of Medicine; Director of Computational Biology, Division of Oncology","institutionId":"wustl-siteman","specialisms":["Cancer genomics","Proteogenomics","Clonal evolution"],"profiles":[{"label":"Ding lab","url":"https://dinglab.wustl.edu"},{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Ding%20L%5BAuthor%5D"}],"papers":[{"title":"Comprehensive characterization of cancer driver genes and mutations","journal":"Cell","year":2018,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.02.060","doi":"10.1016/j.cell.2018.02.060"}]},"route":"/people/li-ding/","neighbours":{"technology":[{"id":"proteomics","kind":"technology","name":"Proteomics & phosphoproteomics","route":"/technologies/proteomics/"},{"id":"wes-wgs","kind":"technology","name":"Whole-exome & whole-genome sequencing","route":"/technologies/wes-wgs/"}],"institution":[{"id":"wustl-siteman","kind":"institution","name":"Siteman Cancer Center, Washington University","route":"/institutions/wustl-siteman/"}]}}
