WINNER VIDEOS


The Wheat Initiative Expert Working Group Improving Wheat Quality for Processing and Health has invited PhD students and researchers who have recently graduated from their PhD (from 2021) with a focus on wheat quality to create and submit a video explaining their PhD in just three minutes.

The challenge is to present your research results and their application, translating knowledge for a more general audience and not just for experts in the field.

We thank all participants for their submissions. After a careful review of all videos from a panel of experts, the Chair and Co-Chair made a decision. You can watch all winner videos below:

Muhammad Afzal: Large-scale proteomics to produce safe and nutritious wheat products

Yuzhou Lan: Wheat gluten affected by drought

 
 

Early 2024 the Expert Working Group on wheat Quality invited postgraduate students, early and mid career wheat researchers to create and present a video to their peers sharing their expertise and knowledge on wheat quality methodologies.
