Director of Center/Group
Prof. LI Shengjun
Professor LI Shengjun received his B.S degree at Shandong Agricultural University in 2003 and got the master degree at Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2008. He obtained the Ph.D degree at Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (CAS) in 2012. After that, he performed the postdoctoral research at Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (CAS) and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. From 2018, he has working in Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), CAS, as the group leader of Energy Plant Improvement Group.
