Hong-Sheng Liao (James): Plant Physiology First Author

Hong-Sheng Liao (James), first author of “Arabidopsis ACT DOMAIN REPEAT9 represses glucose signaling pathways”

Current Position: Research Assistant, Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Ming-Hsiun Hsieh group, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan

Education: 2021, M.S., Department of Biochemical Science and Technology, National Taiwan University; 2019, B.S., Department of Biochemical Science and Technology, National Taiwan University

Non-scientific Interests: table tennis, reading, K-POP and Korean drama, guitar

Brief bio: Since high school, I have aspired to explore the principles of the natural world as a scientist and benefit society with my research. In the summer of my freshmen year, I joined Dr. Ming-Hsiun Hsieh’s lab to study plant nitrogen (N) metabolism and signaling. We aim to explore the signaling roles of glutamine and glutamate, the first organic N synthesized in the primary N assimilation pathway, in regulating plant growth and defense. I am now ready to pursue doctoral studies to continue my exciting and delightful research journey. In the future, I plan to conduct research as a plant scientist, studying the molecular mechanism underlying plant nutrient signaling, stress responses, and developmental biology.

現職：研究助理—臺灣中央研究院 植物暨微生物學研究所 謝明勳老師實驗室

教育程度：2021—國立臺灣大學生化科技學系 碩士；2019—國立臺灣大學生化科技學系 學士

興趣：桌球、閱讀、韓國流行音樂、韓劇、吉他

自我介紹：從高中開始，我就渴望成為一位科學家，探索世界萬物運作的原理，並且將研究所學貢獻於社會。大學二年級的夏天，我進入謝明勳老師的實驗室，研究植物氮的代謝與訊息傳遞，探討麩醯胺酸 (Gln) 與麩胺酸 (Glu)—植物將無機氮同化成有機氮的最初產物—促進植物生長與防禦作用上的分子機制。現在我準備就讀博士，繼續我振奮愉悅的研究之旅，未來我打算成為一名植物科學家，研究植物的營養訊息傳遞、逆境反應以及發育生物學。
