Walkenbach received a B.S.
in Chemistry from Quincy College in 1970 and
a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of
Missouri-Columbia in 1975. From 1975-1977, Ron
conducted a postdoctoral fellowship in diabetes
research at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
In 1977, Walkenbach returned
to Columbia to join the staff at the Eye Research
Foundation of Missouri (now the Missouri Lions
Eye Research Foundation). He assumed the role
of Executive Director in 1981, while continuing
his own research into corneal physiology.
Today, Walkenbach’s leadership
unites MLERF employees, volunteers, donors and
Missouri Lions under one vision to preserve and
restore sight.
