Every year, the WISH holds the prestigious Erna Hamburger Prize and Conference, an event that brings into the limelight an influential, leading woman who is transforming her field and executing change. Creating role models for students and young researchers on campus, and the public at large.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversay of the Erna Hamburger we are proud to welcome Prof. Jill Farrant, a brilliant, innovative phytologist and our laureate from South Africa. Her work on understanding the mechanisms employed by resurrection plants in order to tolerate desiccation has been fundamental to identifying genes of importance for improving drought tolerance of crops through bioengineering.
