Education and Appointments: Li Qiao graduated from the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2015 with a Ph.D. in Botany. Immediately after graduation, she joined the Agricultural Center as an assistant researcher and was selected for the Western Light Talent Cultivation Program of CAS. In April 2024, she was promoted to young associate researcher. Her research specializes in elucidating the mechanisms that govern quality formation and processing applications in cereal crops, particularly focusing on highland barley and wheat. Through techniques such as QTL analysis, multi-omics, and gene functional analyses, she delves into the underpinnings of quality differences, such as starch and β-glucan content, in these crops. Additionally, she investigates the processing properties of highland barley and engages in the development of highland barley-based products. Throughout her career, Li Qiao has led and contributed to 15 projects, including grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Spark Program. Her achievements have been recognized with one national invention patent and 32 publications in SCI TOP journals, including the prestigious "Carbohydrate Polymers" and "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry." She has also garnered a provincial-ministerial award in recognition of her contributions to the field.
