Elaine Krul, PhD

President
EKSci, LLC
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

Elaine Krul has over 40 years of research experience in both academia and industry and is President and founder of EKSci, LLC, providing consulting services in nutrition science. After obtaining her PhD in Biochemistry at McGill University, Elaine did postdoctoral work and obtained a faculty position at Washington University in St. Louis where she conducted research for 12 years on the genetics and molecular mechanisms contributing to cardiovascular disease risk. Elaine then moved to the pharmaceutical industry leading project teams at Pfizer (previously Monsanto/Searle) developing high throughput screening assays and novel animal models to identify drug candidates and novel bioactivities of existing drugs. Elaine led various projects at the Nutrition Sector at Monsanto, applying high-throughput cell-based screens to identify novel bioactivities in compounds isolated from a wide variety of foods that were collected from global sources and compiled into a novel food library. She then moved to DuPont Nutrition and Health (Solae) in 2006 where she became a Senior Technical Fellow, leading preclinical and clinical research focused on identifying the molecular mechanisms of how food ingredients exert their nutritional and health benefits and providing scientific substantiation for health claims and regulatory documents. Elaine retired from DuPont in 2017. Elaine has served on an Expert Panel in Nutrition for the WHO/FAO, and is an adjunct Research Associate Professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
