The Laboratory of Dr. Liming Li

The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine laboratory of Dr. Liming Li is interested in understanding how the prion-like protein conformation-based inheritance is regulated in yeast. Combining the powerful yeast genetics with other biochemical and cell biological approaches, Li and her researchers wish to dissect the initiation and propagation processes of priongenesis and, ultimately, to identify novel cellular factors required in each of these processes.
