[Okon Unung]

My name is Okon Unung. I’m a Senior Scientific Officer at the National Biotechnology Development Agency, Nigeria but I’m currently a PhD student in Plant Molecular Biology and Virology at Ehime University, Japan. My research is focused on CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genetic engineering of plant immunity-related genes for resistance to virus diseases in plants. It is my pleasure to join the Plantae Fellows Program.

My name is Okon Unung. I’m a Senior Scientific Officer at the National Biotechnology Development Agency, Nigeria. I hold a Master of Science degree with specialization in Plant Breeding and Biotechnology. My research interest is on deciphering plant pathogenesis and epigenetic dynamics in plant responses to viral infections as well as CRISPR/Cas9- mediated genetic engineering for disease resistance in plants. It is my pleasure to join the plantae community. I hope to network with eminent plant scientists, share ideas and learn about current trends and emerging tools and methodologies in plant science research. I can be reached on Twitter: @OUnung
