Joanne Chory's pioneering work on plant biology, especially on carbon sequestration, is a testament to her legacy as a transformative scientist dedicated to combating climate change.
Through the Salk Ideal Plants technology, Chory envisioned crops that could be engineered to durably store carbon in soil, a timely solution in the fight against global warming.
Despite battling Parkinson's disease for 20 years, Chory's fierce determination and unwavering commitment to science and humanity made her an inspiring figure in the scientific community.
Chory co-founded the Harnessing Plants Initiative with Wolfgang Busch, bringing together plant biologists to innovate ways of using plant roots for effective carbon sequestration.
