Prof. Yinbo Gan is a Professor at the College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Zhejiang University (2009 to date). He received a B.S. in Agronomy (Huazhong Agricultural University, 1985), M.S. in Agriculture (Chiang Mai University, 1993) and Ph.D. in Biology (University of Groningen, 1999). He was a Research Officer at the National University of Singapore (1999-2000), a Research Associate at Lancaster University (2000-2003), and a Research Fellow at the University of York (2003-2008) before joining Zhejiang University. His lab’s main interests are plant development regulated by plant hormones in both Arabidopsis and rice, particularly, root hair, lateral root, trichome, and seed germination regulated by different plant hormones. Furthermore, they are also interested in using analytic, molecular biological, and biotechnological tools to study root development through the nitrogen signal and plant cell wall biosynthesis using rice as a model plant system. They are trying to identify genes that can be manipulated to improve the cellulase digestibility of rice straw and characterize the impact of such manipulations on the composition and structure of stem cell walls. Now he is also focused on the application of nanoenzymes on crops to improve heavy metal stress in plants.
