Hello! I’m Francisco, an animal scientist, MSc. & Ph.D. in animal science and pastures at the University of São Paulo (USP). I have experience in Bioinformatics and Data Science. Recently, I’ve been working with Precision Livestock Farming (Papers coming soon). During my Ph.D., at the University of São Paulo, I focused on Multi-omics integration methods applied to meat tenderness in Nellore cattle. On my MSc. research, I committed on identify potential biomarkers associated with feed efficiency as well as understand the molecular process that explains feed efficiency variation.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy cooking, drawing, and spending time with family.

Research Interests

• Understand the gaps between phenotype and molecular data using omics data integration, bioinformatics and statistics.

• Research how Artificial Inteligence methods can be applied to animal breeding and animal production.

• Precision Livestock Farming.

1-“astonishing variety in individual particulars;

2-“astonishing constancy in fundamental mechanisms”
