Dissecting the functions of E3 ubiquitin ligases in plant circadian clock and high-temperature responses by Chin-Mei Lee
Dr. Chin-Mei Lee is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Plant Biology and the Global Agriculture Technology and Genomic Science Master Program at National Taiwan University. She earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Michigan State University and her M.S. and B.S. in Biochemical Sciences and Zoology from National Taiwan University. Dr. Lee's research focuses on the ubiquitin-mediated regulation of the plant circadian clock, RNA processing in flowering controls, and thermotolerance in Arabidopsis. She has extensive postdoctoral experience at Academia Sinica, Yale University, and the University of Pennsylvania, contributing significantly to understanding plant stress responses and development.
Unveiling the hidden: exploring translating genes in plant and plant virus by Ming-Jung Liu
Dr. Ming-Jung Liu is an Associate Research Fellow at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular and Biological Agricultural Sciences from TIGP, AS/NCHU, Taiwan, an M.S. from the Institution of Plant Biology at NTU, and a B.S. from the Department of Life Science at NCU. Dr. Liu has extensive postdoctoral experience from the Department of Plant Biology at Michigan State University and the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology at Academia Sinica.
Pre-mRNA splicing at the crossroads of environmental responses and flowering time control by Shih-Long Tu
Dr. Shih-Long Tu is a Research Fellow with a Ph.D. from the Graduate Institute of Life Science at the National Defense Medical Center, Taiwan (2001). His lab at Academia Sinica investigates the molecular mechanisms of light sensing and pre-mRNA splicing in plants. Utilizing systems biology and biochemistry approaches, his research focuses on how light-responsive alternative splicing (AS) events are regulated by photoreceptors. The ultimate goal is to apply this knowledge to modulate the growth and development of agriculturally important crops and identify novel traits through pre-mRNA splicing regulation.
