About Jade

A second year PhD student in Genetics and Genomics, Jade’s research focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms controlling plant responses to environmental cues, which can inform the development of sustainable plant-based solutions to address food security and climate change. She believes that harnessing the power of plant molecular genetics and biotechnology can unlock innovative strategies to create a healthier future for our planet. Jade received first-year doctoral support as a 2022-2023 Genetics and Genomics Scholar, which laid a solid foundation for her ongoing studies and research pursuits. Jade has also been selected to be the TA for the One Health IEG course offered by Duke University, UNC, and NC State University.
