Huilin Li
Huilin Li Laboratory
Center for Epigenetics
Van Andel Research Institute
Grand Rapids, Michigan
USA
The Group’s long-term collaboration with the laboratory of Huilin Li has focussed on electron microscopy (EM) of DNA replication complexes, development of a tool for identification of individual subunits in low resolution 3D structures and, more recently, on high resolution cryo-EM resulting in nine publications in journals such as Genes & Development, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, and PNAS.

Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics
Berlin
Germany
The Group’s collaboration with Thorsten Mielke was instrumental in performing the first electron-microscopy of negative stained samples and metal-shadowed protein-DNA complexes for the discovery of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer and the analysis of pre-RC formation resulting in three publications, in Molecular Cell, Nucleic Acids Research and PNAS.

The electron microscopy work with Huilin Li (above) started in 2003, while Christian Speck was working as a postdoc in the laboratory of Bruce Stillman. After Christian established the DNA Replication Group in 2006, the work continued as a three-way collaboration, resulting in seven publications.
