Research
Our programs focus on four major activities: Transgene structure and function in genetically engineered crops; metabolic engineering and production of pharmaceutical macromolecules in crop plants; engineering of multiple novel agronomic traits in crop plants and cereal functional genomics. We are also interested in training and technology transfer for developing country biotechnology, intellectual property issues and regulatory and biosafety issues of transgenic crops, focusing on developing countries as well as science policy issues and strategic planning covering the interphase between fundamental and applied research.
