Toivo Kallas
Professor at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
Co-Founder, Algoma Algal Biotechnology LLC, Professor, Microbial Genetics & Biotechnology, Univ. Wisconsin - Oshkosh
Toivo Kallas is a Distinguished Professor of Microbial Genetics and Biotechnology at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh. He has a B.A. from Carleton College, Northfield, MN, a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Oregon, and postdoctoral training from the Institut Pasteur and University of California – Berkeley. He has spent sabbaticals at the Institut Biologie Physico-Chimique (Paris) and UW Madison Biotechnology Center to investigate photosynthetic energy conversion and environmental responses of microalgae. He has over 30 years of experience in research on electron transfer protein complexes, energy transduction, and gene expression in cyanobacteria. More than 70 undergraduate students, 23 Master’s students, and several post-doctoral and visiting scientists have participated in this research funded by grants from the NSF, USDA, UW Oshkosh, and the UW System WiSys Technology Foundation. 

Since 2010 he and Matthew Nelson have joined forces with Eric Singsaas (UWSP and WIST) to engineer cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) to efficiently convert solar energy, CO2, and wastewaters into 1) algal biomass for animal and fish feeds and 2) isoprene-terpene chemicals for bioproducts and biofuels. The team has a patent pending and in 2012 founded Algoma Algal Biotechnology (AABT) LLC to commercialize this venture. AABT's technology and development is currently funded by an NSF-STTR Phase I grant and a UW Center for Technology Commercialization SBIR-Advance supplement for business development.
