        PI

Shaoqun (Simon) Zhou leads the Plant Metabolism and Biochemical Defense Group in the Ecological Genomics Center of AGIS. Simon’s graduate training at Cornell University focused on maize metabolic genetics and biotic stress resistance. After a brief industry post-doctoral fellowship at Elo Life Systems in Durham, NC, he joined AGIS as a research professor in July, 2019. His past work includes the identification of novel fungal pathogen resistance factors and the establishment of metabolome-scale genome-wide association resources in maize using multi-omics analytics and quantitative genomics approaches.

　　Research Interests

The Plant Metabolism and Biochemical Defense Group works on the discovery and application of critical genetic elements that influence biotic stress resistance by regulating plant specialized metabolism. We currently focus on two specific systems of interests: non-host resistance against Phytophthora infestans in the Solanaceae family, and metabolic genetics of broad-spectrum pest and disease resistance in maize.
