Welcome to the PMBB
Recognizing the fact that Agriculture
is Ohio's largest industry, the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental
Sciences (FAES) and the College of Biological Sciences (CBS) have established
an interdisciplinary group to exploit the expertise of the many scientists
in both colleges that study basic plant molecular biology or focus
their research in plant biotechnology. This group, encompassing 30
scientists from seven different Departments from both the Columbus
and Wooster campuses, is at the core of an umbrella organization called
the Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (PMBB) Program. 
The PMBB Program has become an important rallying point for plant science
and especially plant molecular biology at OSU. For those associated
with the program, PMBB Program provides a focus to plant-related research
efforts, enabling participating scientists to more effectively take
advantage of potential interdisciplinary and collaborative research
efforts. In addition, the PMBB Program fosters interactions between
basic and applied scientists to facilitate the transfer of laboratory
technology to the field, and ultimately new products.
