Wang Peng - Postdoctoral fellow

Peng received his Master’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Sun Yat-sen University in 2013, studying chloroplast and plastid division under Prof. Hongbin Wang. He later worked at the Shanghai Center for Plant Stress Biology with Dr. Mingguang Lei on the endocytic mechanisms of phosphate transporters. In 2019, he began his PhD with Dr. Jenny Russinova, focusing on endocytic regulation in Arabidopsis, supported by a CSC scholarship. He started his postdoctoral research in Thomas Jacobs’ lab in July 2025, working on genome-wide screening in Physcomitrium patens.

First VIB labs achieve certification for sustainable practices

Two labs from VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have received a Bronze level LEAF certificate for sustainable practices. The Jacobs and Boerjan labs have succesfully completed their first assessment and subsequent on-site audit. The LEAF assessment guides labs towards more sustainable practices in resource and energy efficiency, waste collecting and sorting, and overall people involvement. Congrats to both!
