Lauren Brzozowski
University of Kentucky
Assistant Professor, Department of Plant and Soil Science
Lauren Brzozowski is a plant breeder and geneticist working towards developing new plant varieties to support sustainable agricultural systems. Her research balances foundational science and applied cultivar development. Specifically, she works to understand the genetic basis of climate resilience traits, like resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as traits contributing to human nutrition. She also breeds new regionally-adapted varieties of oats, rye and other small grains for Kentucky farmers.
