Kai Xun Chan
Kai Xun Chan completed his PhD in Plant Sciences at the Australian National University (ANU), elucidating the structural regulation of the chloroplast signaling protein SAL1. After postdoctoral stints at the ANU and at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology in Belgium as an FWO Research Fellow, Kai returned to ANU in 2022 as a Group Leader and ARC DECRA Fellow.
Kai's research group investigates plant cellular and organellar signalling in response to abiotic stresses such as drought and heat stress. Current projects include determining chloroplast-to-nucleus signalling pathways in specialised cell types performing heat-resilient C4 photosynthesis, and engineering novel chemical switches for control of chloroplast signalling.
