Plant Biology provides a unique opportunity to pursue training in a research field that is simultaneously critical for applied and fundamental science. Plant science is unique in that what you learn can be applied to help feed the world. Alternatively, the same training uniquely prepares you for a career in fundamental science as plant science has been at the forefront of nearly every major advance in biological science in the past century. A Ph.D. in Plant Biology provides the student the ability to train in a broad collection of research topics that span the spectrum of biology from Ecosystems to Molecules using a myriad of techniques including Genetics, Biochemistry, Computer Modelling, Systems Biology and intensive quantitative analysis.
Students will specialize in one of the following four areas:
- Cell and Developmental Biology
- Environmental and Integrative Biology
- Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Genomics
- Systematics and Evolutionary Biology
