ILTAB - International Laboratory for Tropical Agricultural Biotechnology

ILTAB has three goals: to improve cassava productivity and quality through genetic transformation; to study and control cassava viruses; and to transfer technologies to less developed countries. A co-founder of ILTAB with Roger Beachy in 1991, Claude Fauquet became its Director in 1999.
