Dr. Ya-Wen He received his BSc in Biology from Central China Normal University in 1992. He obtained his Ph.D. from National University of Singapore in 2006, where he studied the DSF-dependent quorum sensing of phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc). He then worked as a research fellow at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), where he extended his studies to low oxygen sensing in Xcc. In 2010, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a Professor to set his own lab for Microbial Quorum Sensing and Synthetic Biology. He is also a principal investigator of The State Key Laboratory for Microbial Metabolism, and the director of SJTU-Shanghai Nongle Joint R&D Center on Biopesticides and Biofertilizers. Since 2010, Dr. He's group has published over 50 research scientific papers and 5 book chapters, and filed 4 patents. His group’s interests include: (1) Molecular mechanism of quorum sensing in phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris; (2) Systems biology Plant-Xanthomonas interactions; (3) R&D of biopesticides and biofertilizers based on microbial metabolites.
