Pill-Soon Song is a professor in Jeju National University, Jeju, Korea.
Song specializes in molecular photobiology.
He worked on the structure-function relation of phytochromes and other photoreceptors including stentorin and blepharismin.
Presently, his research revolves around the molecular mechanisms involved in overexpression of phytochrome and its related genes in turfgrass and other plant species.
Acknowledging his contributions to photobiology, he was elected as Editor-in-Chief for the American Society for Photobiology journal, Photochemistry and Photobiology (1975–1994) and received the Finsen Medal in 2009 awarded by the International Union of Photobiology.
