Professor Overvoorde is a plant molecular biologist with teaching and
research interests in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry,
genetics, and genome biology. Having joined the Biology
department in the spring of 2002, he is in the process of establishing
a research program that focuses on understanding how plant cells
perceive and respond to the plant hormone auxin. He recently
received two grants: a major instrumentation award from the NSF for
molecular biology equipment that will be used widely for research in
the department and a grant from the USDA for support of his research.
