Biography:
Dr. Yu Wang is a professor at the College of Life Sciences, Northeast Forestry University. His research focuses on gene and genome duplication and how novel functions emerge after duplication, with a particular emphasis on how these evolutionary processes enable plants to produce exceptionally diverse specialized metabolites and how such plant-derived chemistry can be extracted and engineered for pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial applications.
