About Peter
Dr Peter Janssen is the Principal Investigator of the PGgRc-NZAGRC methane mitigation programme at AgResearch, and co-ordinates and contributes to the different work streams developing technologies to reduce ruminant methane emissions. He has established methods for investigating the microbial ecology of the rumen ecosystem, and for isolating novel rumen microbes. Peter has been involved in several global projects to increase knowledge of the rumen, most notably co-leading the Global Rumen Census project. Peter is an internationally recognised expert in isolating so-called unculturable microbes. Prior to joining AgResearch, he was an Associate Professor and Reader at  the University of Melbourne, where his research team made recognised advances in solving the “Great Plate Count Anomaly”.
