He is the first to prove artemisinin's curative effect on falciparum malaria and severe malaria, and contribute in qinghaosu (artemisinin) research in Project 523. He devised and researched a series of artemisinin-based combinations: dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine phosphate-primaquine combination (CV8) which was registered and produced in Vienam in 1997. It was the first-line treatment drug for malaria and given for free in Vietnam. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine phosphate combination, Artemisinin- piperaquine combination both have been registered and produced in China. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine combination was included in the 2nd edition of "Malaria treatment Guidelines? by WHO in 2010. He has published over 50 papers on malaria research and artemisinin derivatives.Ying Li received a Ph.D. in Miyagi, Japan, from Tohoku University.
