Li was the first scientist to use chemotherapy to cure widely metastatic, malignant cancer. Early life and education Born in China, Li studied at Mukden Medical College in present-day Shenyang. Li came to the United States in 1947 for medical training at the University of Southern California, but was unable to return to his home country due to the Chinese Revolution. Li served as a resident at Chicago's Presbyterian Hospital and from 1953 to 1955 worked as a Damon Runyon Fellow at Memorial Hospital in New York City. In 1955, Li accepted a position as an assistant obstetrician in the laboratory of Roy Hertz at the National Cancer Institute .
