2016年7月1日，著名禽类科学家皮特·凯泽教授在与脑癌进行了勇敢而有尊严的斗争后，与家人在家中平静地去世。Kaiser教授是一位有影响力的研究人员，他在鸟类免疫学、遗传学和疾病方面的工作在全世界范围内都是知名的和受人尊敬的。他最近担任爱丁堡大学罗斯林研究所动物传染病主席和副所长，并在鸟类生物学研究方面取得了重大进展，这对本杂志的读者来说非常重要。皮特于1964年7月26日出生于英国北部的达勒姆郡。1986年，他以遗传学和微生物学的联合荣誉在利兹大学获得理学学士学位，然后转到曼彻斯特大学科学与技术研究所，与John Cullum教授一起进行链霉菌遗传学的博士研究。他于1990年获得博士学位，并在《自然生物技术》上发表了他的第一篇关于使用重组来修饰和稳定变青链霉菌基因组的论文。作为欧洲理工学院的奖学金获得者，他继续在巴黎巴斯德研究所的查尔斯·汤普森和朱利安·戴维斯的实验室进行这样的研究。1992年8月，皮特转到动物卫生研究所(IAH)的康普顿实验室，与弗雷德·戴维森博士一起研究鸡的免疫系统。这一举动将点燃他对家禽研究的持久热情，并迅速将他推向较高的学术职位。
The eminent poultry scientist, Professor Pete Kaiser, passed away peacefully at home with his family on 1 July 2016 after a courageous and dignified fight with brain cancer. Professor Kaiser was an influential researcher, known and respected worldwide for his work on avian immunology, genetics and diseases. He was most recently Chair of Animal Infectious Diseases and a Deputy Director at The Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh and made significant advances in the study of avian biology of importance to readers of this journal.Pete was born on 26 July 1964 in County Durham, in the north of the United Kingdom. He completed a Bachelor of Science degree with Joint Honours in Genetics & Microbiology at the University of Leeds in 1986, before moving to the University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology for doctoral research on the genetics of Streptomyces with Professor John Cullum. He obtained his PhD in 1990 and published his first refereed paper in Nature Biotechnology on the use of recombination to modify and stabilise the genome of Streptomyces lividans. As the recipient of a fellowship from the European Institute of Technology, he continued such research in the laboratories of Charles Thompson and Julian Davies at the Institut Pasteur, Paris. In August 1992, Pete moved to the Compton Laboratory of the Institute for Animal Health (IAH) to work with Dr Fred Davison on the immune system of chickens. It was a move that would ignite a lasting passion for poultry research and rapidly propel him to academic positions of high standing.
