Good morning CGIL,  

This week we are happy to have Dr. Lucio Mota, postdoctoral researcher at UNESP-FCAV, presenting for us on Friday, November 22nd, 2024. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST on the virtual platform Microsoft Teams. The presentation title is: “Genetic factors that impact the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of meat production in Nelore cattle”.  

Speaker biography: Dr. Lucio Mota is an Animal Scientist with a master's degree in Animal Science, specializing in Genetics and Animal Breeding. His research focused on gene expression and proteomics related to residual feed intake in Nelore cattle. He also holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Animal Breeding, concentrating on the integration of genomic data into reaction norm models. During his Ph.D., Dr. Mota completed an internship at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Mota's expertise includes genomic selection, genome-wide association studies, gene enrichment analysis, the integration of omics data, statistical methodologies, and machine learning techniques. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at UNESP-FCAV, where he works with whole genome sequencing data in Nelore cattle. Additionally, Dr. Mota collaborates on statistical analyses related to large-scale phenotyping and the integration of omics data to identify resilience indicators during the transition period in dairy cows at the University of Padova. 

Information to attend: To join this seminar, please ensure you have downloaded the Microsoft Teams application to your computer or join the meeting online using the web browser version of Microsoft Teams. Please join the meeting with your microphone on mute and the camera turned off.
