Authors

Zhi-Yan Du Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering, University of Hawai?i, Hawaii, USA. Zhi-Yan (Rock) Du received his PhD, working in Plant Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in Dr. Mee-Len Chye's lab at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong. In his Postdoc research he worked on lipid metabolism in photosynthetic species like plants and algae, symbiosis between microalgae and fungi, and synthetic biology in algae for high value bioproducts. He started using CRISPR for genome editing in algae in 2013. In 2020, he started his own lab at the Department of Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa. His lab is interested in: Synthetic biology in microalgae for valuable bioproducts; Symbiosis between microalgae and fungi; Lipid metabolism in photosynthetic organisms; Improving traits of tropical crops.
