Empowering Human Lives Through Plant Science
Plants sustain life by producing oxygen, supporting ecosystems, and providing food, medicine, and materials that have shaped civilizations throughout history.
Today, advances in genome editing and AI are revolutionizing our understanding of plants and enhancing our ability to harness and improve their traits.
At the Institute for Plant-Human Interface (IPHI), we advance fundamental plant science and develop solutions for humanity’s critical challenges.
