Participating Faculty of SDCMA:
The San Diego Center for Molecular Agriculture (SDCMA) is an umbrella organization that promotes interactions between plant molecular biologists/geneticists in public institutions (UCSD), private institutions (The Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute) and local biotechnology companies.
