Junbai Li received his PhD from the Department of Chemistry, Jilin University in 1992. He then served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Interface Department of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany from 1994 to 1996. He is currently a professor at the Institute of Chemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has been an editor of Colloids & Surfaces A since 2005 and became editor-in-chief in 2017. He has also been a section editor of Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science since 2006. His main research interests are molecular assemblies of biomimetic systems, self-assembly, biointerfaces, and the design and synthesis of bioinspired materials with various nanostructures.
