Welcome to Yoji KAWANO's web page
Our ultimate goal is to create a new plant immune system. We have been working on immune receptors and the small GTPaseOsRac1, which are major components in plant immunity. A comprehensive understanding of R protein and OsRac1 functions would allow the design of plant immune system in order to control pathogens. To address this issue, we have been investigating rice immunity as a model system with a combination of several cutting edge technologies including biochemical analysis, live imaging and gene targeting.
Open Postdoc and Lab Manager/Research Assistant positions
I will start Signal Transduction and Immunity Laboratory at the Shanghai Center for Plant Stress Biology (PSC) as a junior group leader in January, 2015 and am seeking enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellows and Lab Manager/Research Assistant.
Applicants should send a statement of interest, a full CV as well as names and contact information of 3 references to: kawanolabatpsc@gmail.com
