Led by Melanie Correll · Agricultural and Biological Engineering
What we study
The Correll Lab develops computer models to help plant breeders design crops adapted to climate change, linking genetics to plant traits. Their interdisciplinary team uses data from geneticists, breeders, and statisticians to optimize crop development without costly experiments.
