Brief bio: I am currently a master student under the supervision of Prof. Jian-Zhong Liu at the College of Chemistry and Life Sciences, Zhejiang Normal University, China. My major project aims to understand the roles of WRKY33 phosphorylation by MAP kinases in defense responses in soybean. I have been fascinated by the promising future of molecular biology in both medical and agricultural applications. I determine to pursue my Ph. D study in this field.
