Seminar W2023- Dr. Luciana Regitano

This week we are happy to have Dr. Luciana Regitano, a Researcher at Embrapa Southeast Livestock Unit, Brazil, presenting for us on Friday, April 14th, 2023. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST on the virtual platform Microsoft Teams. The title of the presentation is: "Could the Bos indicus hologenome be considered for breeding purposes?".

 

Speaker Biography: Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano graduated in Veterinary Science at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil (1985), obtained her MSc (1991) and her Ph.D. (1997) in Genetics and Breeding at the “Superior School of Agriculture Luiz de Queiroz” of the University of Sao Paulo. Joined Embrapa as a researcher in December 1994, where she is the leader of the Animal Biotechnology group at Embrapa’s Southeast Cattle Research Center. She collaborates with the Genetics and Evolution Department of the Federal University of São Carlos as an invited professor since 1997, where she teaches “Molecular genetics applied to animal breeding”. With experience in genomics, throughout her career, she has made important contributions to the development and application of molecular markers in animal genetic improvement, with special emphasis on selection for production in tropical environments. She is currently dedicated to understanding the functional relationships between the bovine genome and the genomes of microorganisms, exploring the concept of “Hologenome” for the development of technologies aimed at more sustainable livestock.
