Assistant Professor Han Tang has received the Taiwan Society of Plant Biologists’ “Outstanding Young Scholar Award”(2025.11)
The Taiwan Society of Plant Biologists held the “2025 Plant Science Shapes the Future of Agriculture” symposium at National Chung Hsing University from Friday, November 7 to Saturday, November 8, 2025. The meeting brought together experts and scholars from Taiwan and abroad in plant science and agriculture-related fields to discuss the critical role of plant science in the development of future agriculture. During the symposium, the “Outstanding Young Scholar Award” was presented to recognize outstanding early-career achievement. This honor was awarded to our Center team member, Assistant Professor Han Tang of the Institute of Biochemistry, National Chung Hsing University, in recognition of his excellent research performance and academic potential in plant cell biology.
Assistant Professor Han Tang earned his Ph.D. in Cell Biology and Plant Development from Wageningen University & Research. His research expertise spans cell biology, plant cytology, microscopy-based image analysis, and stem cell biology. He has long focused on how plant cells sense their environment, integrate information, and make precise physiological and developmental decisions.
Assistant Professor Tang noted that his research explores how “a tiny plant cell perceives environmental cues, how signals are transmitted within the cell, and ultimately how the cell responds to external conditions and makes each key decision.” He is particularly fascinated by the deeply intertwined internal complexity between cells and their environment. In his view, plant cells are not passive responders; rather, they continuously carry out sophisticated sensing, interaction, signal transmission, and adaptation in daily life to optimize survival and development.
Our Center extends sincere congratulations to Assistant Professor Han Tang on receiving the Taiwan Society of Plant Biologists’ “Outstanding Young Scholar Award.” We look forward to his continued contributions that deepen scientific understanding of plant cellular mechanisms and lay a critical knowledge foundation for cross-disciplinary applications in future agriculture and plant science.
