Suyan Yee

Suyan Yee is a Fellow at The Australian National University, affiliated with the Research School of Biology in the Department of BIO. Their research focuses on chloroplast signalling networks in C4 photosynthesis at cell type-resolution. Yee is associated with the Chan Group - Plant Organelle and Cellular Signalling and is a Postdoctoral Fellow within the Division of Plant Sciences. They have received the RSB Director’s Prize in Honours and the University Medal. Contact details include an email address and a website for further information.

Suyan Yee is a PhD candidate at The Australian National University, focusing on plant stress tolerance, chloroplast retrograde signalling, and transcriptomics. Their research explores mechanisms by which plants adapt to environmental stresses, with a particular emphasis on chloroplast communication and gene regulation. Yee's work includes studies on C4 photosynthesis, bicarbonate transporters, and the role of proteins like PGR5 and PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 in enhancing photosynthetic efficiency. They also investigate transcriptomic approaches for understanding plant responses to stress and have contributed to the development of tools for molecular biology, such as SYBR green qRT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Their research integrates molecular biology, genetics, and functional genomics to address challenges in plant biology and biotechnology.
