We aim to discover how photosynthetic organisms work
at the molecular level, in order to improve lives.
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH
Discovering how photosynthetic organisms capture energy
and defend themselves
FUTURE SCIENTISTS
Providing the scientists of tomorrow with quality education
and research opportunities
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Solving energy and food challenges with new in-house technologies
What's new?
Using unique approaches to study plants in future conditions
Researchers in the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory Sharkey lab are studying changes in plant metabolism that occur when plants are grown in high light, high CO2 conditions.
