Research

The goals of IMPB are to study the unique features of plants and their environmental interactions. We also use plants as tractable experimental systems to study fundamental cellular processes. Research on plants has resulted in paradigm-changing discoveries with significance across the whole of biology and direct applications in agriculture.

At IMPB, we use state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary approaches in our research, including molecular genetics, biochemistry and cell biology and systems biology, and we apply important discoveries through agricultural biotechnology.
