About


[The website is still under construction. There might be some information missing.]
I am Xiaohui Li, a PhD candidate at the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, advised by Dr. Chunhua Zhang and Dr. Chris Staiger. I am using a combination of high spatial temporal resolution live-cell imaging, chemical genetics and computational biology approaches to study plant cell dynamics.
