Xueni Di is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biology at Hong Kong Baptist University, investigating tanshinone transport mechanisms and novel feedback regulatory pathways within the MEP pathway. He began his PhD in Plant Biology and Biotechnology at Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2018, where his research examined the allosteric promotion of monomerisation in deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase and explored its gene family in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). Broadly, his work focuses on the regulation of natural active terpene synthesis pathways in plants, alongside protein - protein and protein - small molecule interactions.
