Research in Botany extends from genomics, molecular genetics, biochemistry and physiology of plants and eukaryotic microorganisms (e.g., fungi and protists) through to cytology and development to systematics, ecology, and phytogeography. Such a broad spectrum of activities provides for dynamic interactions between subdisciplines. In addition, opportunities for interdisciplinary research projects exist with colleagues in other departments and units on campus, such as Forest and Conservation Sciences, Botanical Garden/ Centre for Plant Research, Zoology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics, the Michael Smith Laboratories, and the Centre for Biodiversity Research. Several of our faculty apply their strengths in the basic sciences to problems relevant to forestry, agriculture, marine biology, and medicine.
