1997-September, 2000). 2. To establish genetically modified decaffeinated coffee plants at Laboratory of Plant Molecular Breeding, Research and Education Center for Genetic Information, Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan (October, 2000-March, 2003). 3. To teach plant biotechnology, microbiology, molecular biology as Assistant Professor (2003-2006), Lecturer (2006-2010), and Associate Professor (2010-2015) at Laboratory of Plant and Cell Engineering, Biotechnology Research Center and Department of Biotechnology, Toyama Prefectural University (TPU), Japan (April, 2003- March, 2015). He presently works as a Full Professor at the Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, Department of Life Sciences, Prefectural University of Hiroshima (PUH), Japan (April, 2015-).

Professor Yuan-Yeu Yau obtained his Master and Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. He worked as a post-doc and a Specialist at University of California-Berkeley and Plant Gene Expression Center (USDA-ARS) at Albany, California. Worked in areas of plant biotechnology, plant breeding, plant biochemistry and plant physiology. Dr. Yau worked on projects with grants supported by NSF (National Science Foundation), NIH (National Institutes of Health), USDA, Cotton Incorporated, California Fresh Carrot Advisory Board, Northeastern State University. These projects include carrot breeding for fresh market, cotton-seed gossypol (a toxic compound) removal, development of Clean-Gene technology, and development of stroke drug using molecular farming. Dr. Yau has more than 20 years of experiences in research, mentoring researchers, scholars and students. He discovered the critical gene related to carrot root sweetness, and developed co-dominant markers for screening this trait in carrot industry. Dr. Yau joined Dr. David W. Ow's team (UC-Berkeley) in developing an operation system for precision transgene integration, stacking (at same locus) and deletion (ex. removal of SMG) using microbial site-specific recombination (SSR) systems. Professor Yau has authored or co-authored important discoveries in several Science Citation Index (SCI) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) journals, including Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Plant, Plant Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics and Genomics (MGG), BMC Biotechnology, Molecular Breeding, Transgenic Research, Plant Cell Reports, Plant Biotechnology Reports, Journal of Integrative Agriculture and Botanical Studies. Dr. Yau also serves as a reviewer for several journals, including Plant Biotechnology (ISI JCR© Ranking in 2016: 7/211 (Plant Sciences); 10/158 (Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology) and Plant Cell Reports. He joined Chinese Academy of Sciences as a professor in 2010, then joined Northeastern State University of Oklahoma (USA) as a research scientist and an adjunct professor in 2012. Dr. Yau is an active member of ResearchGate (https://www.researchgate.net). He mentors numerous students from all over the world on ResearchGate.
