About Wenjing Pang

I am a applied nematologist with ten years research experience on integrated pest management. The strategies I studied include resistant and tolerant plant cultivars, chemical and biological pesticides, transgenic plants, and natural products for pest management. I am able to conduct research under laboratory, growth chamber, greenhouse, and field conditions. I am excellent at ‘SAS’, ‘R’, ‘Sigma plot’, and ‘Minitab’ for statistical analysis. My long term goal is to advance my career in Pest Management and Crop Protection, and explore to more functions such as regulatory affairs, product development, regulator science, as well as marketing to have a better understanding of the business.
