Resume:

Dr. Linlin Zhao received her Ph.D. degree in Institute of Zoology (2007) and then worked here until now. She studied in pine wood nematode, an invasive species. Using chemical signals and molecular biology, she revealed the invasive mechanism of the nematode by Chinese vector beetle and associated fungi. She has authored over 40 research papers including 15 papers in international journals, e.g. Nature Communication, Current Biology, Ecology and Trends in Parasitology.

Research Interests:
