Larry L. Murdock

Larry L. Murdock, Purdue University distinguished professor emeritus, was born in Linton, Indiana. Mentored and inspired by Lowell Hardin, Murdock’s work laid the foundation for the world’s first insect-resistant genetically modified seeds and for Bt-cowpea, now in the field in Nigeria. His work also led to the development of the PICS grain storage technology, which is used throughout the world.
