Brent N. Kaiser

Professor Brent N. Kaiser received a BSc (Agriculture) and MSc (Plant Physiology) degree from the University of Guelph (Canada) and a PhD from the Australian National University (Plant Molecular Biology). He is a molecular physiologist examining the regulation and control of plant nitrogen transport systems. The topics of the research include: i) Nitrogen transport and assimilatory mechanisms that operate in plants to enhance uptake and redistribution of inorganic nitrogen and 2) Genetic signaling that promotes symbiotic nitrogen fixation within the legume rhizobia symbiosis. He has led numerous research projects in plant proteins, including the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub – Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture, Global Innovation Linkage III - Transitioning Australian Pulses into Protein-based Food Industries and the NSW Tech Central Research and Innovation Infrastructure Fund – Alternate Protein Application Centre (APAC).
