报告人简介：

　　Dr. Lingzhao Fang is a tenure-track assistant professor at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG), Aarhus University, Denmark. He obtained a double PhD degree in Aarhus University and China Agricultural University in 2017, and then pursued his postdoctoral research in USDA and University of Maryland, US. During 2019-June/2022, he was a Marie Sk？odowska-Curie Fellow at Institute of Genetics and Cancer (IGC), University of Edinburgh, UK. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, including Nature Genetics, Cell Genomics, Nature communications, Genome Biology and Genome Research. His group focuses on developing bioinformatics and integrative genetics approaches to understand how genetic variation shapes genome function and evolution to influence complex phenotypes across species, particularly in farmed animals and humans. He initiated and is currently leading the Farm animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTx) project, which is an international effort aiming to answer key questions in both fundamental and applied genetics and biology by building a comprehensive open-access atlas of regulatory variants in distinct biological contexts in farm animal species. It will eventually transform fundamental biological discovery, animal breeding biotechnology and human biomedicine.
