Personal Profile

Jin Jian, a male professor at the School of Life Science and Technology, Guangxi University, is also a supervisor for doctoral candidates. In 2015, he was selected as part of the Guangxi "Hundred Talents Program". Prof. Jin completed his undergraduate studies at the School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University in 2003 and obtained his PhD in Genetics from the Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in June 2009. From 2009 to 2013, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Agricultural Genomics Research in Spain.

His research primarily focuses on plant molecular biology and genetics. As an author or co-author, he has published numerous academic papers in prestigious international journals such as Nature Genetics, Molecular Plant, New Phytologist, and Plant Communications. Prof. Jin has received several awards including the Meiji Dairies Life Science Award - Scientific Award in 2008 and the Special Award from the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. During his postdoctoral period from 2010 to 2012, he was granted with a European Molecular Biology Organization Long-Term Postdoctoral Fellowship (EMBO long-term fellowship). Additionally, in 2012 (ranked fifth), he was awarded Second Prize for National Natural Science Award for his work on "Molecular Genetic Regulation Mechanism of Complex Quantitative Traits in Rice".
