Plants @ Cambridge

 

Cambridge is a leading centre for plant biology, offering one of the largest concentrations of plant research in the world.

Our research spans from the fundamental study of plant development to real-world applications in crop science, sustainable technologies, engineering biology and ecology.

Through this work we are tackling urgent challenges facing the planet, from protecting biodiversity to feeding a growing global population.

Plants @ Cambridge brings together plant scientists and partner organisations from across the University and beyond for closer collaboration and knowledge exchange. 

Strong connections with industry and research partners enable us to translate scientific discoveries into practical solutions and deliver impact from research.

Our vision is to work together to ensure our high-quality research and discovery work contributes to addressing fundamental challenges including the growing bioeconomy, sustainable agriculture, food security, and resilience to climate change.

As a gateway for industry and policymakers to access plant research expertise, we welcome collaborations with business, industry and other organisations.
