Ying-Chung Jimmy Lin, Associate Professor, National Taiwan University, presents "Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Progressive Loss of Developmental Complexity of Xylem across Seed Plants".
Ying-Chung Jimmy Lin is an Associate Professor in Life Science Department in National Taiwan University. They started from their PhD training in North Carolina State University and worked on the gene regulation and plant development of forestry crops for more than a decade. Since then, they have published 16 SCI papers on highly regarded journals, such as Genome Research, Plant Cell, Nature Protocols, Nature Communications and PNAS. As the first person from Taiwan, Ying-Chung Jimmy Lin is currently serving as the deputy coordinator of Division 2.04.06 in International Union of Forest Research Organizations, the largest forestry organization worldwide.
Ying-Chung Jimmy Lin’s research plan in the near future will be trying to answer a question: How do trees make wood? They will focus on stem differentiating xylem development and evolution for understanding wood formation. The research will be carried out through a systematic way using multi-omic approaches for diverse tree species from different evolutionary clades.
