Research competences

Quantitative genetics and genomics related to agricultural plants and animals. Research is centred on development and application of novel methods for the estimation of genetic parameters for complex traits of commercial interest.

Research area

Projects have usually been conducted in close collaboration with relevant commercial partners related to genetic improvement of plant and animal populations used in food production.
