About us

Sustainable Plant Research for a Greener Future. 

At PSB, our mission focuses on addressing climate change, advancing sustainable agriculture, and conserving biodiversity through innovative plant research. Our goal is to help create a sustainable future where ecological equilibrium is maintained. We study fundamental plant processes through innovative methods and state-of-the-art technologies, using experimental and computational approaches. Our climate change research is developing resilient plant varieties to withstand extreme climates and enhance carbon capture. In agriculture, we aim to reduce resource use by creating crops that require fewer inputs for higher yields and championing environmentally friendly farming practices to ensure long-term food security. We study plant genomes, plant diversity, and plant evolution and adaptation, which is vital for understanding biodiversity and ecological resilience. We also try to engage the public through education, fostering a community dedicated to environmental sustainability. We are committed to science-based solutions for a world where development and conservation go hand-in-hand, ensuring a green and secure future for all.
