Postdocs and Visiting Scholars

Research interest: Developing a genetic construct for in vivo selection of X or Y chromosome-containing sperm.

I am exploring the mammal’s embryo development, embryonic cell fate and adult cell reprogramming into iPSCs for understanding the key players of these pathways/mechanism on maintenance of pluripotency and cell differentiation to apply on in vitro models. Additional research interests: embryo production, epigenetics, metabolism, stem cells and chimeras.

My research focuses on modeling the interactions between weather variability, dry matter intake, and methane emissions intensity in dairy cattle in the United States. I am particularly interested in how we can integrate mathematical modeling with nutrition, physiology and management practices to achieve sustainable ruminant production systems.

Research interests: Dissecting genetic architecture of complex traits in farm animals by analyzing multi-omics data including WGS, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, HiC etc.

Research interests: Investigating the potential effects of a wide range of antibiotic alternatives and other factors on pig health (gut physiology, immunity, and microbiota).

I use population genetics to investigate ecological and evolutionary processes relevant to wildlife conservation and management.

Research interest: Developing the utility of bovine embryonic stem cells in reproductive technologies.

My research interests are quantitative genetics and mathematical modeling.

Hormonal regulation of mammary development, biology of ErbB receptors, binucleation in the mammary glands of pregnant and lactating animals.

Research interests: Management and nutrition of feedlot cattle.

As a major researcher in Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG). Take charge of annotating and comparative analyzing the pig, chicken, and cattle genome by omics data such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, HiC, RNA-seq, GWAS, etc.

Research interests: Epigenetic remodeling during bovine embryonic development
