Founded in 1998, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is home to
over 130 scientists who are conducting fundamental research with
short-, mid- or long-term applied goals. Research team
leaders, referred to as Principal Investigators, have strong
interdisciplinary research skills with diverse training and are
committed to collaborations between research groups within the
Danforth Center, among the Danforth Center Alliance, and with
researchers across the globe.
