AGI recently moved to the brand new Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building on the northeast part of campus near the Medical School. AGI currently employees about 40 hard working scientists and we are funded primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the United States Department of Agriculture Cooperative State, Education and Extension Service (USDA-CSREES) and the Bud Antle Endowed Chair in Plant Molecular Genetics.
