Guillermo Martinez Boggio is originally from Uruguay, where he earned his BS (2016) in Veterinary Science and his MS (2020) in Animal Science, all from Universidad de la República. He continued his graduate studies at Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse and INRAE (Toulouse, France) where he earned his Ph.D. (2023) in Animal Science. Before his Ph.D., Guillermo was a faculty member (2016-2019) in the Department of Animal Genetics at Universidad de la República. His research interests are in quantitative genomics. His research focuses on the development and application of methods to incorporate omics traits in livestock. His research involves gene mapping, genomic prediction, and multi-omics data integration.
