Abstract:
Jiayang Li received his master's degree from the Institute of Genetics (now the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1984 and his PhD from Brandeis University in 1991. He subsequently undertook postdoctoral research on plant molecular genetics at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University. He has been a Professor at IGDB since 1994, served as Vice President of CAS (2003-2011) and President of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (2011-2016), and has been Director General of the Yazhouwan National Laboratory since 2022. His research focuses on the molecular basis of complex traits regulating high yield, superior quality, and strong resilience, and breeding elite rice varieties by rational design. He has been elected as a member or associate member of CAS (2001), the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS; 2004), the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS; 2011), the German Academy of Sciences (2012), and the UK Royal Society (2015).
