The Genetics, Biotechnology, and Seed Science Unit is dedicated to delivering quality seeds and healthy products to end-users and consumers. We train talented individuals with visionary minds, capable of driving changes in both urban and rural agricultural settings. Grounded in a belief in science and innovation, we actively engage with agribusiness. Our researchers and students serve as the driving force behind technological advances, innovations, and knowledge generation.
Our unit is more than just a working space for research; it embodies the spirit of exploration that propels us to overcome the barriers of ignorance. Here, every crop, whether for profit or food and nutrition security, is given its due attention with the goal of improving people’s livelihoods. We are deeply passionate about cultivar development and strive to release varieties that thrive in diverse agro-ecological conditions. Excellence in seed science is at the forefront of our mission.
Explore the various sections of our unit, immerse yourself in our ongoing innovative projects, and be inspired by the research that is redefining standards in crop and wild relatives improvement. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, an eager student, or simply passionate about science, our unit is a place where brilliant minds converge, and ideas come to life.
At the Genetics, Biotechnology, and Seed Science Unit, you’ll encounter a committed community ready to share its findings and collaborate to build a better world. Welcome to our world, where science transforms into an exciting journey, and the future is shaped by every experience. We eagerly anticipate sharing this exciting journey with you.
Our mission is to provide evidence-based results and innovative solutions in the domain of food and nutrition security to decision makers and end-users.
To achieve this, GBioS actions portfolio is organized around the following axes:
Axis 1: safeguarding plant genetic resources for diversification of agricultural systems in West Africa;
Axis 2: improving crop productivity for food and nutrition security of local communities; and
Axis 3: promoting the quality of agricultural products for better life among vulnerable population
Our vision is to become by 2027 a leading research centre of excellence in the management and valorisation of plant genetic resources for improved nutrition and sustainable food security for local communities in West Africa with an international reputation for quality, relevance, sustainability, and impact of research results on the target population.
Integrity, punctuality, freedom of mind, quality, equity, excellence, gender sensitivity, and respect to the environment.
