Xia Yan: The Plant Cell Author Profile

Xia Yan, first author of “The transcriptional landscape of plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae reveals distinct families of temporally co-regulated and structurally conserved effectors”

Current Position: Postdoctoral Scientist, The Sainsbury Laboratory, UK

Education: Zhejiang University (Ph.D.)

Non-scientific Interests: hiking, reading

Brief bio: I completed my PhD study at Zhejiang University, China. My interest in plant pathogen effectors motivated me to join University of Exeter as an Associate Research Fellow to study the effector biology of the rice blast fungus. I am currently working in The Sainsbury Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Scientist in the group of Professor Nick Talbot FRS. I am focusing on investigating the molecular mechanism of plant-microbe interactions of the rice blast and wheat blast diseases.

个人简介:在浙江大学获得博士学位后,我对植物病原菌效应蛋白研究产生了浓厚的兴趣,于是作为助理研究员加入英国Exeter大学展开了对效应蛋白的生物学研究。目前在英国The Sainsbury Laboratory英国皇家科学院院士 Nick Talbot 教授课题组进行博士后研究工作,主要课题是研究水稻与稻瘟病菌以及小麦与麦瘟病菌的寄主和病原菌互作机制。
