Building on significant progress
Howard D. Grimes
Vice President for Research
Dean of the Graduate School
The top research universities in the nation, those having
the most profound impact on the greater world and that
lead the international research agenda, invest in the
strength and talents of innovative and creative faculty,
programs, and facilities capable of making the most
significant difference.
As a major research university, it’s imperative
that our graduate program strengthens our research
opportunities. In particular, we look forward to
expanding our efforts in global animal
health, agriculture and
plant sciences and clean
technologies. As a land-grant institution, we
recognize the vital role that WSU research plays in
strengthening the economy of the state, the region, and
the nation.

Overcoming some of the most painful, common, and
deadly human diseases is at the core of Howard
Grimes’ innovative
research on plants. His efforts in plant biochemistry
and human health offer new hope for predicting, treating,
and preventing such debilitating illnesses as arthritis,
obesity, and malnutrition and more pernicious killers,
including cancer, asthma, heart disease, diabetes, and
starvation.
