Biography

Ping He is a faculty member in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the complex innate immune systems of plants, particularly in understanding the activation signaling mechanisms involved in host immunity against pathogen infections. Using an integrated genetic, biochemical, and cellular approach, his work primarily employs Arabidopsis as a model system to investigate how plant immunity is interconnected with plant development and responses to environmental stresses. He aims to decode the signaling crosstalk that orchestrates plant responses to both intrinsic and extrinsic signals. Ultimately, the knowledge gained from his studies on model plants is intended to be applied towards enhancing the stress resilience of crop plants, thereby contributing to agricultural sustainability.
