| The “Fiers-Schell-Van Montagu research building” houses the Department of Plant Systems Biology, directed by Professor Dirk Inzé. This research department conducts fundamental research in a number of areas, including cell death, developmental biology, cell division in plants, and genome analysis. To that end the most advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques are used as well as cutting-edge technologies, such as genomics, proteomics, and microarrays. |
|
 The technology park of Ghent employs approximately 670 persons dedicated to plant biotechnology, of which 385 work for the companies Bayer Bioscience, CropDesign and Devgen.The bulk of this work force has been established because of the department’s outstanding scientific achievements and its remarkable ability to identify opportunities for building on scientific results for the exploration of commercial benefits.
