Jingjing Huang obtained the master degree in Molecular biology and Biochemistry from Nanjing Agricultural University (China) in 2009. In 2010, She Joined the Delledonne lab in the University of Verona (Italy) to study the origins of nitric oxide in plants and mechanism that how plants perceive and transduce the nitric oxide signal in cellular pathways. She obtained the PhD degree in Biotechnology in 2014. From June 2014 till October 2016, she worked in the Messens lab in VIB-VUB center for Structural Biology, mainly focused on focued on in vitro biochemical study on the S-sulfenylated plant proteins. Since November 2016, she continued her research work on Cys OxiPTM to work in the Van Breusegem in VIB-UGent center for Plant System Biology. From September to December in 2018, Jingjing has worked in Claire Remacle lab in the University of Liege on project "Organellar Redox Signaling in Plants". Since October 2019, Jingjing works as a senior FWO postdoctoral fellow in the Van Breusegem lab focusing on Cysteine oxidations in plants.

My bioresume

I have obtained my Master in Biology-Plant Biotechnology at Ghent University (1992) and my PhD under the supervision of Geert Angenon and Marc Van Montagu at the Laboratory of Genetics, Ghent University (Belgium, 1998), studying plant seed storage protein synthesis. During my PhD, I have also been a visiting researcher at CIAT in Cali (Colombia) in the group of César Cardona. After obtaining my PhD degree, I moved to the lab of Ramón Serrano at the IBMCP-UPV in Valencia (Spain) as a Marie Curie EU postdoctoral fellow to work for 2 years on yeast salt tolerance. I returned to Belgium afterwards and started my own research group within the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology in 2003, focusing on jasmonate signaling, gene discovery in plant specialized metabolism and metabolic engineering. I am experienced in yeast and plant functional genomics, molecular biology and applied biotechnology. My current research aspires to understand jasmonate signaling in model, crop and medicinal plants and unravel the mechanisms that steer plant growth and metabolism in response to developmental and environmental cues. Doing so, I hope to find novel tools for plant metabolic engineering. I have been appointed as a part-time Full Professor at Ghent University in 2015 and I am teaching ‘Metabolic Engineering’. Since 2015 I have been included in the Thomson Reuters list of ISI Highly Cited Researchers in Plant & Animal Sciences. In 2020 I have been elected as an EMBO member.
