Anna Hull

Anna Hull is a Professor in the Biology Department at Lincoln University, where she teaches courses in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Botany, and introductory Biology for majors.

• Research Focus: Plant-people interactions, metabolomics, and genetics in nutrition-related cancer susceptibility.
• Collaboration: Partners with the Chemistry Department on population-based studies linking genetics and environmental factors (e.g., cruciferous vegetable consumption, smoking) to cancer risk.
• Mentorship: Supports undergraduate researchers in exploring behavioral and biological aspects of plant-people interactions.
• Outreach: Volunteers in local schools and leads a campus gardening project.
• Conservation: Serves on the board of the Friends of the State Line Serpentine Barrens, dedicated to preserving native grasslands.

Her work is funded by grants examining the interplay between genetic components and dietary factors in modulating cancer risk among minority populations. She also acts as Principal Investigator for programs providing summer internships to Lincoln University students at local research centers.
