PSI Faculty Scholars
GDCB PSI Scholars: Professors Yanhai Yin, Stephen Howell,

Four GDCB faculty were awarded funding by the Plant Sciences Institute (PSI) as part of the PSI Faculty Scholars program and will join other faculty from three colleges receiving the award.  GDCB PSI Faculty Scholars are Professors Hui-Hsien Chou,  Stephen H. Howell, Carolyn J. Lawrence and Yanhai Yin.  The flexible funding may be used a variety of ways to engage in innovative and high-risk research that may lead to important breakthroughs in PSI’s focus area of predictive phenomics.

The new initiative, which awards funding for up to three years, is an effort by the PSI to stimulate high risk, high-reward research in the plant sciences.    In addition to funding, Scholars will participate in an ongoing weekly workshop series designed to help establish strong collaborations among plant scientists, engineers, and computational scientists.
