We are excited to share that
WCIC operations will continue in our current location
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.
