The goals of the Plant Biochemistry Research and Training Center at Washington State University are to understand how plants work and to train the next generation of scientists who will solve today's problems now and be at the cutting edge of future investigations. The focus of our research is on plant metabolism and molecular and cellular biology, and on integrating new discoveries that relate plant biochemistry to the unique constraints that shape plant growth, development and evolution. In establishing the structure of the Plant Biochemistry Research and Training Center, the faculty provided unique opportunities for training and scientific collaboration to students at several levels. The focus is on ensuring that students acquire the basic knowledge they will need in a way that recognizes the rapidly changing and interdisciplinary nature of the subject.
Unique opportunities exist in the program for choosing courses, mentors and research problems.
Positions are available for graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows on a competitive basis. Fellowship recipients must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
