Biography

Chengsong Zhu joined the Department of Agronomy in 2013 at Iowa State University as a research Scientist. He received his BSc degree from Yangzhou University in 1990, MSc from Nanjing Agricultural University in 1995 and Ph.D. from Fudan University in 2004. His research is centered on complex trait dissection, identifying molecular variation underlying phenotypic variation. His research integrates knowledge in quantitative genetics, plant breeding, genomics, molecular genetics, and statistics with an ultimate goal of developing and applying new strategies and methods in trait dissection and crop improvement. He is also serving on the editorial boards of two other journals.

Research Interest

- Develop and apply methods for linkage analysis with high-through genotypic information and Hybrid seed technology.
-Develop new statistical methodologies to address biological issues in genome-wide association studies with diverse germplasm or multiple designed mapping populations.
-Efficiently integrate high throughput genotyping into pedigree breeding in genomic selection analysis.
-Gene cloning of traits with agronomic and domestication importance
