Peter R. Shewry leads research at Rothamsted Research on the development, structure, and composition of wheat grain. He is the author of over 500 refereed papers, has edited or co-edited 19 books (including the fourth edition of Wheat: Chemistry and Technology), and co-authored the book Wheat: Environment, Food and Health (2021). In 2000 he was awarded the Thomas Burr Osborne Medal by the AACC (now Cereals & Grains Association), in 2002 was the joint recipient of the Rank Prize for Nutrition, and in 2016 was awarded the Clyde H. Bailey Medal by the ICC. Hamit Koksel was the leader of the Cereal Research Group at Hacettepe University, Food Engineering Department and is currently at Istinye University, Istanbul, Turkey. He served as the ICC president in 2017–18 and became ICC Academy Chair in 2021. In 2016 he was awarded the Harald Perten Prize and in 2020 the Friedrich Schweitzer Medal by the ICC. John R. N. Taylor is a senior research fellow in grain science and nutrition at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. He is the author of numerous scientific papers and book chapters and has been senior editor of two handbooks: Gluten-Free Ancient Grains and Sorghum and Millets: Chemistry, Technology and Nutritional Attributes. John is a fellow of the ICC, the Cereal and Grains Association, and of the International Academy of Food Science and Technology. He was awarded the Thomas Burr Osborne Medal by Cereals & Grains Association in 2021 and the Clyde H. Bailey Medal by the ICC in 2022.
