At UPSC, we research across a wide range of disciplines in plant science reaching from basic science to industrial applications. The work at UPSC is carried out at all organisation levels of the plant spanning from molecular to ecosystem level. Our common goal is to understand the plants’ ability to adapt and acclimate to a changing world.
Research at UPSC focuses mainly on the following three research areas:
We host about 30 principal investigators (list of research groups at UPSC) with different areas of expertise researching on questions mainly related to one or several of the three research areas. The research groups at UPSC collaborate closely with eleven associated research groups (list of associated research groups at UPSC) who are based in other departments at Umeå University or SLU or at other universities.
