University of Georgia
Athens, Georgia
Daniela Lourenco is an Associate Professor in Animal Breeding, Genetics, and Genomics at The University of Georgia, United States. She was born and raised in Brazil, earning her MS and PhD degrees from Maringa State University. Her research has focused on improving livestock production, health, fitness, and efficiency using genomic information, developing statistical methods and software for genetic evaluation and genome-wide association, and addressing issues related to using big data and multi-omics information. She has been actively working with several US and international breeding companies and received the UGA Fred C. Davis Early Career Award in 2020. Daniela has authored over 300 conference proceedings and 172 peer-reviewed publications and has given almost 100 invited talks on five continents.
