Details
Adrien Butty a CGIL Ph.D. candidate will present a CGIL Seminar on Friday, March 29th. The seminar will begin at 1:30 pm in room 141 of the Animal Science & Nutrition building.
Adrien Butty is a Ph.D. candidate working with Dr. Christine Baes, Dr. Filippo Miglior, and Dr. Flavio Schenkel on the Efficient Dairy Genome Project. Growing up in Switzerland, he worked at several small dairy cattle and horse breeding farms which expanded his interests in agriculture. He completed his B.Sc.at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) in 2014 as well as his M.Sc. in Agroecosystem Science with honours in 2016 in Zurich (Switzerland). During his M.Sc., he did an exchange semester in Wageningen (Netherlands) and took courses of the European Master in Animal Breeding and Genetics. Throughout his graduate career, Adrien completed an externship with Dr. Paul Stothard at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and with Dr. Birgit Gredler-Grandl at Qualitas AG in Zug (Switzerland). In addition to his academic life, he also sings in the University Choir! Since the start of his Ph.D., Adrien has worked on animal selection for sequencing and imputation of genotypes to whole-genome sequence variants. He now works with computational analysis of copy number variants.
The Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock welcomes all interested University of Guelph staff, faculty, students, and industry or academic collaborators to attend our CGIL Seminars, which are held on Friday afternoons throughout the Fall and Winter semesters. The meetings are always available remotely via Fuze, for those unable to attend in person, and presentation recordings may also be available after the seminar. Please let me know if you need further instruction on how to connect to Fuze or view available webinar recordings.
Have a great week!
