Genomics on the Hill 2017

On February 6, 2017 Dr. Filippo Miglior joined a group of prestigious researchers on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to showcase their projects and illustrate how they are using genomics to address important issues in Canada related to climate change. Dr. Miglior's poster (find here) showed how this project is using genomics to reduce the environmental footprint and increase the productivity of Canada's dairy industry.

August 2016. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Filippo Miglior on his most recent award from the Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS) for Technical Innovation in Enhancing Production of Safe Affordable Food for 2016. This was awarded at the 2016 Joint Annual Meeting (JAM) in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 19-23. For more information, see here!

The 7th Annual Livestock Gentec Conference, October 18 and 19, 2016 in Edmonton, AB. This year's conference included beef and dairy topics. Filippo Miglior gave a presentation on the project. See here for more details on the conference.

EAAP Meeting in Belfast. August 29 - September 2, 2106. Filippo Miglior gave a presentation on the project, entitled "An international initiative to decrease the environmental footprint of dairy cattle using genomics". In addition, a presentation was given on the work Filippo's group is doing with ICAR to standardize data collection and data analysis for feed efficiency and methane emissions. This work will ensure that data coming from the EDGP has maximum value.
