About Gabriel Gesteira
I am a statistical geneticist working towards improving the efficiency of plant breeding programs. I use genetics, statistics, genomics, bioinformatics, and computational resources together to understand the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes, optimize the allocation of resources, and support decision-making processes in plant breeding. My research experience involves the development of models and tools for haplotype reconstruction, QTL detection, and genomic prediction in complex breeding populations, with emphasis on polyploid organisms.
