Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center (WCIC)
A crop biotechnology facility serving public and private researchers in the United States and globally
The WCIC began as a University of Wisconsin Center housed in an industrial plant transformation site that was generously donated by Monsanto in 2017.
We have successfully transformed over 20 crop species for hundreds of global clients, including public universities and private companies. Our comprehensive services include construct development, plant analysis, and delivery of T1 seeds. We support future generation advancements to get homozygous seed.
As we begin our transition back to campus in 2027, we are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. Our services will continue without interruption, and we will keep you updated.
WCIC is the first ever academic institution to obtain ETS (Excellent Through Stewardship) and PBIMP (Plant Breeding Innovation Management Program) certification!
