Jens Stougaard is a Professor at Aarhus University in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. He specializes in carbohydrate recognition and signaling, particularly in the context of plant biotechnology and the genetic underpinnings of nitrogen-fixing leguminous plants. Stougaard has directed several significant research projects aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interactions and the dynamics at the root-soil interface. His dedication to teaching is evident in his involvement in academic conferences and his role as an educator in his research group. With a strong publication record, Stougaard has contributed to the advancement of agricultural research, focusing on genetics and the underlying signals that guide plant physiology and development. His work has significant implications for sustainable agriculture and the efficiency of nutrient use in plants.
