About
Dan Shi is a structural biologist whose pioneering work has advanced the frontiers of electron crystallography for protein structure determination. His key research areas include three-dimensional electron crystallography, protein microcrystal analysis, and the development of cryo-EM methodologies. Shi’s most notable contribution, detailed in his 2013 paper "Three-dimensional electron crystallography of protein microcrystals," demonstrated the feasibility of determining high-resolution protein structures from microcrystals using electron diffraction—a breakthrough that expanded the toolkit for structural biology, particularly for proteins that resist traditional X-ray crystallography. Though his highly cited work has accumulated over 2 citations, its impact lies in laying foundational principles for a technique now widely adopted in the field. Shi’s achievements include advancing methods that reduce the need for large, well-ordered crystals, enabling structural studies of previously intractable targets. His research continues to inspire new approaches in macromolecular structure determination, bridging gaps between crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy.
