It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of Dr. Liza Lockwood to our Board of Trustees.
Dr. S. Eliza Lockwood is an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist with a long-standing interest in global health, humanitarian aid, and tropical medicine.
Dr. Lockwood graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and completed her training in Emergency Medicine at Washington University and medical toxicology at New York University.
She organized a relief mission to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and started the scholar track in global health & tropical medicine for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Washington University.
Dr. Lockwood realized that to have a true impact in developing countries, there needed to be an effort to focus on creative ways to address malnutrition and insect-borne illness, two of the most common public health problems in these regions.
Dr. Lockwood has lectured nationally and internationally on a diverse range of topics in medical toxicology, tropical medicine, One Health, and humanitarian work. She is a passionate advocate for the role of modern agriculture in maintaining food security, alleviating poverty, and improving public health.
Dr. Lockwood became Medical Affairs Lead for Bayer's Crop Science Division in 2016.
“I am delighted and truly honored to be part of the scientific organization founded by Norman Borlaug. I hope that my service on the board can in some small way continue his commitment to the pursuit of truth & humanitarian relief.”
— Liza Lockwood, MD
