Hello CGIL,     

This week we are happy to have Dr. Beatriz Castro-Dias-Cuyabano, presenting for us on Friday, November 13^th, 2026. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST in ANNU 141 and on the virtual platform of Microsoft Teams. The presentation title is: “Genetic evaluations of tomorrow: the challenge of customizing selection indexes and breeding goals to each farmer”.   

Speaker Biography: Originally from Brazil and graduated in statistics as her bachelor and master, Beatriz Cuyabano started working in animal breeding and quantitative genetics during her PhD at Aarhus University, Denmark. Since 2021 Beatriz is a senior researcher in the team of Genetics for Sustainable Cattle breeding at INRAE in France. Her work focuses on the underlying physiological background driving genetic trade-offs between traits, understanding the environmental effects to livestock production with a goal to achieve further sustainable breeding systems, and on the integration of multi-omic information to genetic evaluations.
