Malcolm Elliott, the Founding Executive Director of The Norman Borlaug Institute for Crop Improvement described The Norman Borlaug Institute's role as facilitating the delivery of food security and creation of wealth by applying cutting edge plant science techniques in crop improvement programmes which will enable the sustainable enhancement of global agricultural production. He graduated with First Class Honours in Plant Sciences from The University of Wales (1963) and received his PhD in plant biochemistry from The University of Wales in 1966. He was a Fulbright Scholar and Research Fellow at Yale University (1967–69); Lecturer in Plant Biochemistry at The University of Leicester (1969–71); Professor and Head of The School of Life Sciences at De Montfort University, Leicester (1971–94); Chairman of The College of Deans at De Montfort University (1989–93) then Founding Executive Director of The Norman Borlaug Institute (1994 to date). Professor Elliott is the author of several hundred research publications with emphasis on molecular biological approaches to cereal improvement.. He was awarded the Charles University Medal (1992), the Gregor Mendel Gold Medal for Biological Sciences Research of Exceptional Merit (1993), the Jan Evangelista Purkyne Medal (1994) and the DSc (Honoris Causa) of the Bulgarian National Centre for Agricultural Sciences (2006).
