Juanjuan Wang is a Research Associate at the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge.

Biography

I studied flower morphogenesis and the establishment of a protoplasts transient transformation system in Chirita pumila in my master's degree. In my PhD, I studied the regulation of flowering  time in the globally important oilseed crop Brassica napus. At Cambridge, my current project focuses on the effects of gene regulatory networks changes on plant disease resistance pathways. We hope to improve lettuce resistance to fungal pathogens by refining and engineering gene regulatory networks without altering other traits.
