2022 The Anne S. Chatham Fellowship in Medicinal Botany
Characterizing and Optimizing Medicinal Pigment Production in Amaranthus L. Species
Rosen will focus on the nutritionally dense, culturally preferred leafy green amaranth and its introduction into American agriculture. Combining marketing and field research with an analysis of its unique antioxidant betalain pigments, Rosen will characterize the genetic diversity of antioxidants in amaranth and look at optimizing antioxidant pigment production through light-spectrum manipulation.
The Anne S. Chatham Fellowship in Medicinal Botany
To protect, preserve, and expand knowledge about the medicinal use of plants, thus preventing the disappearance of plants with therapeutic potential. Providing this research opportunity for botanists can, in turn, assist medical science to develop therapies that improve the quality of life of patients and develop life-saving medicines.
