个人简介：

Dr. Pamela Ronald is a distinguished professor at UC Davis and a Key Scientist at the Joint BioEnergy Institute. She is also a faculty affiliate of the Center on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University. She is recognized for research in infectious disease biology and environmental stress tolerance. Her isolation of the rice Xa21 immune receptor in 1995 and of a novel microbial immunogen in 2015 revealed a new mechanism with which plants and animals detect and respond to infection. She is also known for her leading role in isolation of the rice Submergence Tolerance 1 (SUB1) gene. Her research facilitated the development of high yielding SUB1 rice varieties grown by more than six million farmers. Dr. Ronald is coauthor with her husband, Raoul Adamchak, of “Tomorrow’s Table: Organic Farming, Genetics and the Future of Food”. Her 2015 TED talk has been viewed by 1.7 million people and translated into 26 languages. She founded the UC Davis Institute for Food and Agriculture Literacy to train the next generation of scientists to become effective communicators. In 2019, she received the ASPB Leadership Award, an honorary doctorate from the Swedish Agricultural University, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. She was named a World Agricultural Prize Laureate by the GCHERA in 2020, and was awarded the Wolf Prize in Agriculture in 2021.
