Brief bio: I first became interested in plant pathology and plant immunity after joining to Dr. Hirofumi Yoshioka’s group at Nagoya University in Japan. During my PhD, I was focusing on immune signalling after sensing pathogen and studied transcription factor network and reactive oxygen species signalling in plant immune responses. After PhD research, I joined as a postdoc in Prof. Sophien Kamoun’s lab at The Sainsbury Laboratory, UK, to study immune receptor network in plants. I am a big fan of intracellular immune receptor research. Thus, I hope to contribute this research field and improve crop resistance to diverse pathogens.
