About

Plants produce tens of thousands of structurally diverse low molecular weight natural products (i.e., specialized metabolites) which are extensively utilized in all sectors of day-to-date life applications. My PhD research in Korea and the JSPS postdoctoral research in Japan were related to plant specialized metabolites especially triterpene saponins of soybean. My current INSPIRE Faculty research aims to establish the biosynthetic pathway of one of specialized metabolite group in banana that defend plants against multiple pathogens.
