Brief bio: I received my master degree in Plant Genetics from Zhejiang Normal University under the supervision of Prof. Jian-Zhong Liu. My main research project was to understand the roles of MAP kinases and WRKY transcription factors in cell death and defense responses in soybean. I gained extensive knowledge and mastered various techniques in molecular biology during my Master study, which secured me a Research Manager position in Zhejiang Tian-Feng Bio-Science company right after my graduation.
