Medicago Genomics
Knowledge gained from research on Medicago truncatula is being utilized to improve important forage and grain legumes. A link to all three divisions at the Noble Foundation.

Summer Research Scholars
The program is more than just an internship; it's a chance to conduct actual research. It's an oppotunity to explore endless scientific possibilities.
