The Centre of Excellence in Tree Health Biotechnology (CTHB) at FABI represents one of seven designated Science Centres supported by the Government Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Research Foundation (NRF). CTHB research concentrates on the health of native trees, particularly those in forests and it has both a national and international perspective. A core focus is to provide the highest possible quality of post graduate education in fields such as plant pathology, entomology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology and ecology. The CTHB functions alongside the Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP), with the two programmes providing synergy for each other.
