The Interdisciplinary Plant Group is a community of MU faculty, students, and professionals who are pursuing novel, creative, and transformative ideas in the field of plant biology from a range of scientific disciplines. Established in 1981, the IPG provides a supportive, open, and flexible research environment that transcends traditional departmental boundaries, facilitates the sharing of ideas and resources, and creates opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. The IPG is comprised of 51 faculty-led research teams, representing the divisions of Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, and Plant Sciences and the departments of Forestry and Computer Science.

Pathways in Research
Few people know from a young age that they were born to be scientists. The rest tend to find themselves in science through a more circuitous route. David Korasick, former Life Sciences Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Fellow and research technician in Dr. Antje Heese's biochemistry lab, shares his own path to research and the insights he has gained from working in an IPG plant lab.
