I am a professor of animal breeding and quantitative genetics with extensive experience in improving productive and reproductive performance in livestock using advanced genomic and pedigree-based approaches. My work focuses on the genetic improvement and conservation of locally adapted breeds, integrating genomic prediction, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), haplotype analysis, and machine learning methods. I have contributed to large-scale phenotypic and genotypic datasets, and my research aims to enhance food security, preserve genetic diversity, and support sustainable smallholder farming systems. I have co-authored pioneering GWAS studies in Egyptian buffalo and am actively involved in international collaborations to develop cross-population genomic prediction models.
