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. 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.
