Brief bio: I am interested in uncovering the mysteries in plant-microbe interactions, and engineering disease-resistant crops for food security. During my Ph.D. study I worked on a devastating citrus disease, Huanglongbing, using transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. Then I moved to Sichuan Agricultural University to study the rice fungal diseases including rice blast and rice false smut. I am passionate about identifying novel resistance genes or regulators in plant immunity that can efficiently protect crops from infection of multiple fungal pathogens.
