Doris Wagner, the DiMaura Professor of Biology, serves as the inaugural director of the Penn Plant Adaptability and Resilience Center. Her work explores how plants adjust their growth in response to developmental and environmental signals. Because they cannot move, plants excel at reshaping their cells, tissues, and organs—a flexibility essential for their survival and reproduction and vital to sustaining human life on Earth
