Biography

Post-doctoral researcher of the Animal Breeding Group at the Agrotecnio-CERCA Center and of the Pig Breeding Group at Universitat de Lleida (Spain).

My research focuses on the application of genomics to unravel the genetic control of biological processes and to drive livestock breeding for the production of value-added products. In particular, my current research aims at developing strategies based on whole-genome data for breeding pigs with enhanced organoleptic and nutritional meat quality.

– Genetic evaluations and estimation of genetic parameters.

– Genomics: GWAS, genomic prediction. Bioinformatics.

– Strategies for implementing whole-genome sequencing into breeding programs.
