Dr. Diaga Diouf received his PhD in Physiology, Biology and Plant molecular Biology from University Paris 7 Denis Diderot in France. He received post doctoral training in 2002 and 2003 at the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech and at the Department of Agronomy of University of California at Davis, respectively. He was appointed as an Adjunct professor from 2007 to 2010 at the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech, in USA. Currently he is a full professor in plant molecular genetics at the university Cheikh Anta Diop in Senegal. His work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control tolerance of the combined effect of drought and heat in crop using OMIC approaches and bioinformatics tools.
