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.
