Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Nan Yang. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Nan Yang is a biologist specializing in Microbiology. His research primarily focuses on microbial ecology, particularly microbe-microbe interactions in multispecies biofilm communities (MBCs) and their impacts on plant hosts. His current research investigates how interspecific bacterial interactions influence plant growth and tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought. Furthermore, he aims to address significant ecological questions concerning how microbes interact to assemble communities that function in plants. His methodology combines bioinformatic analysis with microscale 3D co-localization to quantify community composition and the spatial organization of MBCs, while also identifying potential keystone species that may shape community structure and function. He has engaged in collaborations across top research areas in the past five years.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
