The annual Food & Fuel for the 21st Century Plant Systems Biology Symposium is an event focused on research from students and faculty in the plant biology field. The event is hosted by Dr. Julian Schroeder and part of the UC San Diego Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Plany Systems program.
The program aims to train students in plant systems biology at the interface of computational genomics, systems modeling and plant sciences, and will position them to address major challenges facing plant scientists and agricultural biotechnology.
