Biography
Hubert Pausch has been Assistant Professor of Animal Genomics with the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich since May 2017. Hubert Pausch was born in 1984 in Weiden (Germany) and studied Agricultural Sciences at TU Munich with a focus on Animal Production. He received his PhD in animal genetics at the Chair of Animal Breeding (Prof. Ruedi Fries) at TU Munich. He received PhD dissertation awards from the German Society for Animal Production e.V. and Bund der Freunde der TU München e.V.. In 2016, he was granted a scholarship from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a research stay at the Center for AgriBiosciences, in Bundoora, Victoria, Australia.
Research Interest
The main research area of Hubert Pausch is the development and implementation of statistical and bioinformatic approaches for combining sequence data from key animals in a population with incomplete data from animals from the genomic selection. Using cattle as an example, he successfully identified allelic variations which have economic and health-related effects. Hubert Pausch has a forward-looking vision of customized livestock breeding. His appointment greatly enriches the Institute of Agricultural Sciences and is important to the running of the new Agrovet-Strickhof Education and Research Centre.
