The Centre of Excellence in Tree Biology brings together ten PIs from the University of Helsinki (UH) and two from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), who together with a large network of international collaborators form a multidisciplinary team of experts in plant genetics, physiology and computational modelling of whole tree physiology. TreeBio is funded by the Academy of Finland to provide for an exceptional centre of excellence focused on studying carbon sequestration in trees as a holistic, physiological process, and to provide detailed molecular and genomic information for breeding birch as a better carbon sink.
