Genetics and Forest Improvement Lab
WHO WE ARE
The Genetics and Forest Improvement Lab (LabGeM), coordinated by Prof. Fábio Vieira, was inaugurated on November 26 2012, at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), campus Macaíba, RN State, Brazil. We carry out population genetic studies with forest species of economic and ecological importance — the research is aimed at the genetic conservation and improvement of the species. The LabGeM welcomes high school, undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers from various institutions.

GOALS
Our mission is to generate scientific and technological information about conservation and genetic improvement of forest tree species for the state of Rio Grande do Norte and Northeast Brazil. In this mission, we seek to assist in the formation of new scientists, who could be multipliers of the acquired knowledge and contribute effectively to the preservation, sustainable use and restoration of the forest biomes, especially the Caatinga semiarid.
