李林一直认为自己是一个不太安分、喜欢挑战的人。1992年,李林在美国纽约州立大学石溪分校生理与生物物理系完成了博士后的学习,没有任何犹豫就回国了。那时他的想法很简单,人无信不立,既然答应学成回国,就不能自食其言。李林现任中国科学院上海生命科学研究院副院长,分子生物学国家重点实验室主任,但这个普通的名字并不为外界所熟知,甚至在网络上能搜索到的 Li Lin has always considered himself a less secure and loves challenger. In 1992, Li Lin completed his postdoctoral studies at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and returned without any hesitation.

Li Lin is currently vice president of the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology, but this common name is not known to the outside world, and can even be found on the Internet
