Plant-focused Faculty

Many faculty members in the Biology Department have research programs that involve plants, in a number of different topical areas from computational biology and genomics to ecosystem ecology. Many faculty members conduct research that bridges several disciplines. Please explore this page and the Faculty listing to see what areas we are working in.
