Ling Chen is a Postdoctoral Researcher affiliated with the Bevilacqua Lab at Pennsylvania State University. Their research focuses on plant immunity mechanisms, molecular genetics, and protein function in biological systems.
Research interests include plant-pathogen interactions, RNA processing pathways, and the regulation of developmental processes such as flowering time. They investigate how proteins like SKRP and UBA2c influence immunity and gene expression, with applications to crop protection and basic plant biology.
Key contributions include studies on small G-proteins in disease resistance and the structural characterization of galectins in insects. Their work bridges molecular biology with evolutionary genetics, particularly in understanding host-pathogen co-evolution through effector proteins.
