Lee Ji-Young

Lee Ji-Young is a Professor in the Department of BIO at Seoul National University. Her research focuses on plant development, genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on the vascular system of plants. Her lab investigates the molecular mechanisms governing the patterning of xylem and phloem in Arabidopsis roots, as well as gene regulatory networks in vascular stem cells. She is also involved in genome-wide studies to identify genes associated with agronomically important traits in root crops. Lee has held various academic and administrative positions at Seoul National University and has contributed to editorial roles in scientific journals.

Ji-Young Lee is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University, specializing in plant biology and systems genetics. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms governing plant development, particularly in root and vascular systems. Lee's work explores gene regulation, signaling pathways, and the genetic basis of plant growth and adaptation. Her publications highlight the role of transcription factors, microRNAs, and hormonal signaling in root cell fate, vascular patterning, and secondary growth. She also investigates evolutionary genetics, including hybridogenesis and allopolyploidization in Brassicaceae species. Her research integrates molecular genetics with systems biology to uncover regulatory networks in plant development.
