Animal geneticist, computational biologist, and animal breeder. Rich experience in managing omics data (e.g., phenomics, genomics, transcriptomics), statistical learning, quantitative genetics for complex traits, genetic and genomic evaluation for livestock genetic improvement. Area of expertise includes quantitative genetics, animal breeding, veterinary science, and bioinformatics. Rich experience in leading international projects, working collaborately with industry, and surpervising students.
I have a background in metabolic diseases of cattle and sheep and the use of precision technologies – such as rumination/activity collars and pH boluses – to allow early detection of diseases. My research interests focus around bovine health and production, the use of precision livestock farming (PLF) tools to study health and nutrition problems of ruminants and innovative dairying. My interests include: PLF technologies for monitoring health, welfare and prodution in cattle Rumen function Metabolic disorders (particularly ruminal acidosis) Ruminant nutrition The ruminal microbiome Dairy
Frances graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2010 with a BSc (Hons) in Biology. From there she went on to further specialise with her Masters in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health, graduating from the University of Edinburgh for a second time in 2014. Developing a strong interest in sustainability as a result of my masters, she went on to accept a position working that the NAFC marine centre in Shetland, as a Graduate Trainee in the Fisheries and Marine Science department. While there Frances designed and ran a project exploring the carbon footprint of the local pelagic fleet
For over 19 years Will has made major contributions in the field of metabolomics and metabolite profiling. He is interested in the study and development of chromatography - linked - mass spectrometry (LC and GC) for a range of applications in the fields of plant-physiology, pathology and insect interactions, as well as natural product discovery. Will was a core researcher within the two teams who were first recognised for applying metabolomics approaches to the study of plant disease and insect interactions. Will has previously run and provided metabolic profiling services within the
Dominic has been primarily involved in research on Scottish fruit crops but has carried out research on all the major crop groups and involved in developing a field based hyperspectral imaging platform for use in soft fruit industry. They have been responsible for the development of imaging techniques, image analysis methods and interpretation of the data from such a platform. The main focus of their research has been using hyperspectral imaging to help detect and understand below ground stress in raspberry and blueberry crops. Dominic has also been carried out investigating sources of yield
I have been engaged in projects in over 20 tropical or sub-tropical countries and maintain a strong global peer network for research and results application. Part of my work at SRUC is to contribute to its globally-facing agenda through promoting international collaborations. Before working for SRUC, I was based with work in Kenya for 6 years. . My research interests within SRUC centre on the processes involved in crop domestication, covering a broad spectrum of crops from major staples to orphan crops, and entirely new crops undergoing domestication for the first time. I am interested in
I am Professor of Plant Breeding at SRUC, based at the Edinburgh campus, though I spend most of my time working from home in Essex. I research the development and application of quantitative methods to plant breeding, and am now also involved in some animal breeding projects. The methods I use are those of quantitative genetics and statistics. I started my working life as a commercial plant breeder, including nine years as Research Director of Lion Seeds, Ltd., a company established by a successful management buy-out of which I was part. In 1999 I left Lion Seeds to take an opportunity to
Micha is a bioinformatics specialist with a focus on second and third generation sequence analysis and 14 years of experience in barley genomics, variomics and transcriptomics. He is one of the early pioneers of applying these technologies to barley. Over the years he has been involved in a large variety of projects across most of our crop plant species, but most of his research currently relates to barley. Micha's particular interest is in barley variomics and genomics. He has been actively involved in the last two barley genome projects, and also in the development of the last two barley
