Welcome!!!
Department Overview
The teaching and research programs of the Department of Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology at
The Ohio State University focus on modern areas of experimental plant
biology including, plant cell and molecular biology, developmental biology,
physiology, biochemistry, and biotechnology. The Department of Plant
Biology is committed to providing the best possible classroom and research
experiences for our students. The addition of two centers of excellence,
the Arabidopsis
Biological Resource Center and the Plant-Microbe
Genomics Facility, facilitate our mission.

Seminar Invitation
Thursday's lecture in association with the Summer Genomics Workshop will be given by Bob Hettich of Oak Ridge National laboratory. The seminar is at 11 AM on June 24 in 001 Jennings. Bob is a proteomics person who has, among other things, pioneered ways to access the metagenome from various interesting environments. Basically, by performing shotgun proteomics he can tell who is there, what they are doing, and when. His talk is entitled: ""Mass-Spectrometry Based Proteogenomics Approaches for the Molecular Characterization of Microbial Isolates and Communities". We hope you can all make it to the lecture.
