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.
Skills
- Imaging: Confocal microscopy (Zeiss LSM 710, LSM 880), Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, epifluorescence microscopy.
- Genetics: Arabidopsis forward mutant screening and mapping
- Biochemistry: Protein expression and purification with FPLC system, Western-blotting, protein-small molecule binding assays (MST, CETSA, DSF, DARTS).
- Computational biology: Whole genome sequencing (WGS), SNP calling and mapping, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis, proteomics data analysis, multimer protein complex modeling, protein-ligand docking
- Programming languages: UNIX/BASH, Python, R.
