Plant Genomics at Missouri
The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) is a nationally recognized
center for plant genetics research and has recently been awarded
multiple grants from the National Science Foundation to fund research
in plant genomics. Faculty in Biological Sciences, Biochemistry,
Plant Sciences, and USDA/ARS are eager to provide training
opportunities for undergraduates who wish to participate in
collaborative research.
Research Mentors
Sixteen MU faculty will serve as potential mentors for PGI @ MU
interns. Students will be matched with faculty based on preferences
indicated in the application form and on the student's research
interests as described in their personal statement.
