Women in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Biotechnology: Key Advances and Perspectives on Emerging Topics
暫譯: 可持續農業與食品生物技術中的女性：關鍵進展與新興主題的觀點

本卷描述了女性科學家對農業生物技術領域的貢獻，這是歷史上被採用最快的農業實踐。書中呈現了女性教育工作者、研究人員和主要利益相關者對於這項現代技術的發展、實施和接受的觀點。它描述了當前該領域不斷增加的挑戰，女性如何克服技術障礙，以及她們對未來的看法。隨著可持續農業實踐越來越成為推動建立更綠色全球社區的關鍵選擇，本書所涵蓋的科學、技術和實施問題對於任何從事環境工程工作的人來說都是至關重要的信息。

Laura Privalle has worked in the agricultural biotechnology industry since 1984 after receiving her Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin. Her dissertation was on nitrogen fixation in blue-green algae. After a post-doctoral fellowship at Duke University where she worked on nitrite reductase, she joined CIBA-GEIGY's brand new biotechnology unit. This subsequently became Novartis and then Syngenta. She has been working in Regulatory Science since 1992 and was deeply involved in producing the safety assessment package for the first transgenic maize product that received regulatory approval in the United States. In 2003 she joined BASF as head of Regulatory Science where she remained until 2013 when she joined Bayer CropScience. She has served as vice-chair and then chair of the Protein Allergenicity Technical Committee for the Health and Environmental Science Institute. She also serves on the Education Enhancement Grants panel for the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. In addition, she is a member of the Faculty of 1000 in the Agriculture and Biotechnology Section.

勞拉·普里瓦爾（Laura Privalle）自1984年以來一直在農業生物技術產業工作，當時她在威斯康辛大學獲得生物化學博士學位。她的論文研究主題是藍綠藻中的氮固定。完成杜克大學的博士後研究，專注於亞硝酸鹽還原酶後，她加入了CIBA-GEIGY全新的生物技術部門。該部門後來成為諾華（Novartis），再然後成為先正達（Syngenta）。自1992年以來，她一直從事法規科學工作，並深度參與了美國首個獲得法規批准的轉基因玉米產品的安全評估包的製作。2003年，她加入巴斯夫（BASF）擔任法規科學部門負責人，直到2013年加入拜耳作物科學（Bayer CropScience）。她曾擔任健康與環境科學研究所的蛋白質過敏性技術委員會副主席，隨後成為主席。她還在北卡羅來納州生物技術中心的教育增強獎助金小組中任職。此外，她是農業與生物技術領域的1000名學者（Faculty of 1000）成員。
