Medicinal Plant Research
Scientists in the Medicinal Plant Research Program study the influence of
source, growth, harvest, and processing of medicinal plants on their chemical
make-up, as well as their safety and effectiveness. Research on botanical
dietary supplements focuses on understanding their quality, chemistry,
pharmacology, and toxicology. Some medicinal plants are studied to improve
production of important natural product drugs and as potential alternative
crops for U.S. farmers.
