杨秀芬, 女，1963年3月出生于河北唐山, 研究员。1983年毕业于河北农业大学植保系，1989年在华中农业大学植保系获理学硕士学位，1991年在河北农大晋升为讲师，2000年聘为中国农业科学院副研究员。2010年聘为中国农业科学院研究员。
主要从事生物农药研究与利用研究，包括真菌蛋白激发子、微生物代谢产物分离，鉴定及作用机制研究。主持国家自然科学基金面上项目2项(31272086; 31772151)，中比国际合作专项1项（（2014DFG32270））；主持“863”计划（2011AA10A205）子课题和农业行业专项（200903052）子课题各1项。近年来从植物病原真菌中分离鉴定了2个蛋白激发子，克隆其编码基因并进行蛋白异源表达和功能研究；鉴定了蛋白激发子在烟草细胞中的靶蛋白，阐述了2个蛋白激发子诱导植物广谱抗病性的作用机制。与团队成员共同研发了蛋白质植物免疫诱导剂“阿泰灵”并在多种农作物、果蔬上得到大面积推广应用。在国内外刊物发表科技论文80余篇，参编专著《蛋白质农药》和《植物免疫与植物疫苗》；分别于2012年和2018年获得北京市科学技术二等奖各1项（第2名/10），2016年获得中国农业科学院杰出创新奖（第3名/15），2016年获得中国植物保护科技一等奖（第2名/15），中国产学研合作创新一等奖（第4名/7）等奖项6项，获得中国发明专利7例。
