Professor, Department of Biology, College of Natural Sciences
Elsbeth Walker is an expert in the processes that plants use to acquire iron from the environment. During her Public Engagement Fellowship, Walker will engage the general public and policy makers to show how her basic research discoveries provide new knowledge necessary to engineer crop plants that combat iron deficiency, the ‘hidden hunger’ that afflicts close to 2 billion people around the world.
