BURLINGTON, WA — The Washington State University (WSU) Breadlab named Kevin Murphy as the new Clif Bar and King Arthur Baking Co. endowed chair in organic grain breeding and innovation.
“The Breadlab represents a unique strength at WSU,” Murphy said. “It’s my honor to work with the Breadlab team, Clif Bar, King Arthur Baking Company, the Port of Skagit and our many regional partners to continue this mission.”
Previously held by Stephen Jones, WSU professor and founder of the Breadlab, the position was established in 2018 through gifts from Clif Bar and King Arthur Baking as well as partner organizations and individual donors.
