Roy J. Carver Co-Laboratory, home of the Plant Sciences Institute. The 45,000 square foot facility houses research laboratories and business incubator space to facilitate biotechnology research, technology transfer and economic development related to plant science.
The Plant Sciences Institute is housed in the Roy J. Carver Co-Laboratory (1111 WOI Road, Ames, Iowa 50011-1085), which is located north of the communications and molecular biology buildings in the NW corner of the Iowa State University campus.
After reviewing dozens of applications, Iowa State University's Plant Sciences Institute (PSI) has named nine faculty members to the second cohort of PSI Faculty Scholars. Read more
PSI Faculty Scholar Liang Dong, associate professor in electrical and computer engineering, holds a three-inch silicon wafer containing thousands of microscale sensors developed in his Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Biochip Laboratory. The sensors were designed to measure plant and soil nutrients. MEMS and Biochip Laboratory Website

About Us
The Plant Sciences Institute is dedicated to enhancing Iowa State University's international prominence in the plant sciences.
Our research focus is to understand the effects of genotype and environment on phenotypes (traits) sufficiently well that we will be able to predict phenotype of a given genotype in a given environment (i.e., predictive phenomics)
