معرفی
Paul Hwang is a Researcher at Washington State University (WSU), affiliated with the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. Located in the Plant Sciences Building, his work focuses on plant metabolism and biochemistry, particularly in starch biosynthesis and photosynthetic efficiency. He holds a Ph.D. from Kyungpook National University (1995).
Research Interests: Dr. Hwang investigates the role of starch phosphorylase (Pho1) in regulating photosynthesis and plant growth. His lab employs structural modeling, mutagenesis, and protein interaction studies to understand starch metabolism cross-talk with photosystems. Current projects include applying genome editing to enhance crop productivity through improved starch and carbon metabolism.
Publications: His research spans structural enzyme studies (e.g., ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) to applications in crop improvement, with recent work emphasizing rice and other cereal crops. Key themes include enzyme regulation, source-sink dynamics, and metabolic engineering for yield enhancement.
Labs/Teams: Active in WSU’s plant sciences research community, contributing to interdisciplinary efforts in agricultural biotechnology and plant physiology.
