About Our Arboretum Scientists

With state-of-the-art research and growth facilities nestled alongside over 16,000 living specimens (2,100 species), the Arnold Arboretum is uniquely positioned to ask broad and important questions in plant biology. Our scientists’ research is as diverse as our living collection, ranging from organismic and evolutionary biology, molecular and developmental biology, plant physiology, and ecological, environmental and biodiversity studies. Emphasizing our close relationship to the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB), many of our scientists have dual appointments in OEB and the Arboretum.

Faculty Fellows of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University contribute significantly to one or more of five areas central to the mission of the Arnold Arboretum:

  1. Leading or collaborating on research based at the Arboretum
  2. Mentoring students and postdoctoral fellows based at the Arboretum
  3. Teaching Harvard courses based at the Arboretum
  4. Providing input on living or archival collections and landscape management
  5. Creating outreach programs to share science and other scholarship with the public at the Arboretum.
