Dr. Ivan Arinaitwe Kabiita (PhD) is an accomplished Plant breeder with more expertise in wheat and Banana Breeding. He attained his PhD in Genetics and Plant Molecular Biology from the University of Malaya, Malaysia, a Master's in Plant breeding and Systems, and a Bachelor of Science in Botany/Zoology, both from Makerere University, Uganda. With over 10 years’ experience conducting market-responsive and demand-driven research, most of the time, with the National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) of Uganda. He has, over time, developed expertise to work with diverse national and international teams to design, execute, manage, and evaluate the performance of a vibrant breeding pipeline. He specializes in the field of plant breeding, genetics, seed science and seed systems, plant molecular biology, and plant tissue culture. He has cordially worked with a multi-partner, wide breeding network, including CGIAR centres, NARES of East, Central, and Western Africa, the private sector and other Institutions of global reach and repute. Growing from a junior to the lead banana breeder at NARO, Ivan was at the centre of a establishing and maintaining to maturity, a successful, vibrant banana breeding program, competently driving all stages of planning and management of breeding processes from crossing through all stages of laboratory – tissue culture and molecular, to multi-locational field evaluation and eventual official release of superior banana varieties for increased genetic gains on farm and rapid adoption by farmers in East and Central Africa (ECA) countries. He has published several academic papers in high-impact journals.
