Biography
Dr. Ming Li is a professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Humans are composed of building blocks known as proteins. Proteins begin as chains of amino acids and then fold into a specific shape that determines the function of that protein. To determine that shape, scientists currently use x-ray crystallography (time-consuming) or NMR Spectroscopy (labour-inducing). Dr. Ming Li is working towards a very fast and accurate method of solving protein structures - one that will work with experimental data.
