Professional Summary
Junqi Song, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in Dallas, affiliated with the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology. His primary research focus centers on the intricate mechanism by which plants perceive and respond to microbial pathogens, as well as the strategies employed by pathogens to overcome host resistance. Employing a multifaceted approach, he combines molecular, genetic, biochemical, and proteomic approaches and collaborates closely with nanochemists and electrical engineers to investigate these processes. The knowledge generated from these studies is expected to enhance our understanding of defense responses in crops, ultimately paving the way for the development of innovative disease control and detection strategies as well as improved crop production. Over the past 5 years, he has attracted over $1.5 million in support for his research program. Song’s work has been cited in peer-reviewed publications on more than 4,200 occasions. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Plant Sciences.
