Henry Nguyen has a research program in molecular genetics, genomics, and biotechnology. His long-standing research interest is abiotic stress adaptation and tolerance in plants with a current emphasis on soybean. Specific research areas include:
Molecular genetics and integrated functional genomics of plant adaptation and resilience to stress environments (root system architecture, drought, flood, and temperature stress).
Application of pan-genomic technologies to studying natural genetic variation and inheritance of complex traits in soybean.
Development and application of genomics-assisted breeding strategies for crop improvement.
