LI Xinhui is an assistant Professor in the single molecular systems biology lab, school of biomedical engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His primary research interests are quantitative chromatin biology, including resolving nucleosomal positioning and occupancy, the chromosome structures and dynamics, and mitotic chromosome associate RNAs. Other work focuses on the gold nanoparticle-mediated simultaneous overlap extension-PCR (AuNP-mediated SOE-PCR) method that enables the fusion of multiple DNA fragments simultaneously with their amplification in a single reaction using typical PCR conditions.
