Senior🎓
Top SchoolYang Kang is an Associate Professor and bioinformatics-driven plant scientist with 11 years of experience applying genome and transcriptome analysis to questions in R gene evolution, crop domestication, and speciation. Trained with a Ph.D. in Crop Science from Seoul National University, he has led genome assembly and transcriptome projects (notably on mungbean and adzuki bean) and built comparative-species trees using RNA-seq data. His work spans academic and international research environments, including postdoctoral bioinformatics and protein–protein interaction network construction at Technische Universität München. Based in the Seoul–Incheon area, he combines deep domain expertise in plant genomics with practical skills in NGS pipelines and gene model construction, often translating large-scale sequencing into evolutionary and breeding insights. An understated strength is his ability to bridge wet-lab breeding objectives and computational genomics workflows to drive crop improvement.
