Faculty

FER Home : Forest Genetics & Biotechnology : Faculty

Although virtually all of the forestry faculty participate in at least some genetics and biotechnology efforts, Vincent Chiang, Ron Sederoff, Ross Whetten, Steve McKeand, Fikret Isik, Gary Hodge, Bill Dvorak , and John Frampton form a core group that guides much of the planning and work done on this area’s curriculum, research and extension programs.
