Interdisciplinary Research

The diverse IBMCP research program, with more than 25 research groups exploring the secrets of plants, ranges from DNA sequencing and analysis of plant development and hormonal action, to the interaction between plants and their environment.

The IBMCP research groups cover a wide range of research areas with a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, with the firm commitment to making Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology a key tool in improving agriculture, the environment, health, and human well-being.
