Our successor project QTCCm is underway. The aim of the project is the genomic analysis of the correlation and causality between quantitative traits in dairy cattle breeding, taking into account transcriptome and metabolome data. We warmly congratulate our research associate Dr. Paula Reich on receiving the DGFZ Dissertation Prize 2025 for her work on genomic analysis in German warmblood horses.
We are delighted to welcome Stephan Ohlendorf as our new fish farming expert. Mr. Ohlendorf brings extensive experience in aquaculture and will support our team from January 1st, 2026.
