Tang, Bozeng

Assistant Professor Tang, Bozeng is affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University. His research focuses on the molecular dynamics of plant–fungus interactions, particularly how fungal pathogens suppress plant immune responses and how plants resist fungal invasion. His work integrates genetics, cell biology, multi-omics, population genomics, and evolutionary biology. Current research interests include understanding how cellular heterogeneity influences plant–fungus interactions and how climate change affects disease outbreaks. His lab also explores strategies to develop resilient crop cultivars to address agricultural challenges.

Bozeng Tang is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University with expertise in plant pathology, single-cell genomics, bioinformatics, and fungal biology. Their work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant-fungal interactions, particularly in the context of rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. Tang's research employs advanced genomic and proteomic techniques to uncover transcriptional networks, regulatory pathways, and host-pathogen communication strategies. Key areas of investigation include the role of single-cell transcriptomics in revealing cell-type-specific responses to fungal infection, the regulation of appressorium-mediated infection, and the impact of post-transcriptional modifications on pathogenicity. Their studies also explore the development of broad-spectrum fungicides and the role of RNA interference in plant immunity.
