Agriculture and Science

My research focuses on applying molecular, genomic and computational approaches to understand genetic diversity, adaptation, stress responses and health in animals. I am particularly interested in indigenous animal genetic resources and the genetic characterisation of traits that contribute to robustness, adaptation and disease resistance, particularly in livestock. I also investigate parasite genetics, with a focus on understanding genetic diversity, population structure and evolutionary patterns in parasites. My work integrates molecular biology, genetics, genomics and bioinformatics to investigate genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying important animal traits, adaptation, disease and parasite biology.
