Research interests

I am a specialist in the analysis of genomic data of animal species, using technologies ranging from SNP arrays, second- and third- generation sequencing and epigenetic data applied to genome-wide studies and selection signatures analysis. I am a skilled developer, with extensive experience in Python, R, BASH, Rust and Nextflow coding. Currently, I am leading the Companion animal genomic group at the University of Glasgow, where we apply genomic to welfare-related traits and conditions.
