G&B professor Dr. Shahid Mukhtar has received an $830,055 grant from the National Science Foundation to explore how artificial intelligence can help researchers better understand gene regulation in individual plant cells, potentially paving the way for more resilient crops.

Beyond the lab, Mukhtar also plans to introduce high school students to the intersection of AI and genomics through a new educational camp designed to inspire the next generation of scientists.
