Mentor
National University of Singapore
Eunyoung Chae is a plant geneticist and assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore. Her research area includes plant immunity, natural variation, trait evolution, and hybrid performances. The Chae lab focuses to investigate non-additive genetic interactions between plant immune components, and to develop a predictable model linking immune system diversity and growth traits, particularly in hybrid plants.
Research interests: The Chae laboratory at NUS works on natural variation in the plant immune system and hybrid necrosis. NLR evolution and function is current research focus.
