- Biography:
- Dr Tan Boon Chin is a senior lecturer in the Centre for Research in Biotechnology for Agriculture (CEBAR), at University of Malaya (UM). He completed his BSc in Biotechnology at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and a PhD in Plant Biotechnology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. Dr Tan was employed by UM as a postdoctoral research fellow before took up the role of senior lecturer. He received several awards, including Royal Society-Newton Advanced Fellowship (2017), Travel Award for the Asia Pacific Biosafety Association Conference from the United States Department of State Biosecurity Engagement Program (2017) and Alltech Young Scientist Award 2012/13. Dr Tan is currently an honorary secretary for Malaysian Agricultural Proteomics Society and council member for the Malaysian Society for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. His interests span the fields of plant molecular biology and biochemistry. The focus of his past and current research is to combine proteomics and molecular approaches to understand the regulatory mechanism of transcription factors in drought-stressed crops and to enhance the production of some useful secondary metabolites.
