Warren Wilson College Vision
This document outlines a pilot collaboration between Warren Wilson College and Sensorium Therapeutics focusing on understanding how climate change impacts the chemistry of native Appalachian medicinal plants. The initiative aims to establish Warren Wilson College as a regional hub for climate-informed medicinal plant research, offering students experiential learning opportunities in plant science, fostering pathways to biotech careers, and encouraging entrepreneurship. Key objectives include studying plant responses to environmental conditions, developing long-term datasets, and promoting responsible botanical stewardship, ultimately contributing to regional well-being and plant-based medicine.
