Dr. Albert Kausch is Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the
University of Rhode Island. He received his Bachelors’ degree from the
State University of New York in Biological Sciences and both his
Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University in Molecular,
Cellular and Developmental Biology. From there, he conducted his
Postdoctoral Research at The Rockefeller University in New York . At
Rockefeller, he did seminal work on protein import to chloroplasts which defined the transit peptide using some of the first transgenic plants. That technology is now used in all genetically modified crops
Dr. Kausch’s research program currently concentrates on molecular and genetic improvement in crop plants. He is recently involved with research on the genetic modification, advanced genetics, and breeding of plants used for bioenergy. Dr. Kausch’s laboratory also conducts research on hybrid plant production and biofortification of rice and maize for agriculture in developing countries. He is a co-founder of a new company, called Plant Advancements, which will help commercialize the results of basic agricultural research into
