We're happy to announce @AgnieszkaGolicz as a keynote speaker at GPZ conference 2024! With a background in bioinformatics and a wealth of experience in genomics, she's a leading expert in crop bioinformatics research. Don't miss her keynote on the future of agrobioinformatics

[Kai Voss-Fels @KaiV_F]

Registrations for the upcoming @GPZconference24 at @hsgeisenheim Geisenheim are now open! PhD students & postdocs who submit abstracts will be considered for research awards & travel scholarships. Hope to see you in Geisenheim in March 2024!

Please spread the word & RT.

[PlantBreedingGiessen @pbgiessen]

We are very happy to continue working with you! 👏😊

[Agnieszka Golicz @AgnieszkaGolicz]

Happy to continue at @jlugiessen as a Professor for Agrobioinformatics. Would not be possible without the support of many wonderful scientists including @pbgiessen @usadellab @UWABioinfo and @AvHStiftung @dfg_public

[Kai Voss-Fels @KaiV_F]

Early career plant breeding researchers, this upcoming event is for you. We will run a NextGen Breeders workshop at @hsgeisenheim in March 2024!

If you’re interested make sure to check out the website & follow the conference channel. Further info & registration available soon!

Check out our new study on dealing with failed allele calls from SNP arrays in Genomic Prediction. We are exploring the untapped potential of using failed allele calls for GP instead of imputation.

A day of learning and discovery at @jlugiessen @pbgiessen research farm located in Groß-Gerau, Germany.

[UFOP e. V. @ufop_de]

Großer Erfolg beim #IRCSYDNEY2023! Preise für das beste studentische Poster und den besten studentischen Vortrag gingen an Sven Weber & Jose Antonio Montera-Tena von der @jlugiessen. Stephan Arens gratulierte den Preisträgern, die mit UFOP-Förderung am Kongress teilnahmen.

[PlantBreedingGiessen @pbgiessen]

We're particularly proud that our students @Jamontero95 and @svenomics won both the oral and poster prizes!

[PlantBreedingGiessen @pbgiessen]

Thrilled about our experience at @Ircsydney2023! We had the privilege of presenting our latest results in 7 talks and 6 posters, which wouldn't have been possible without the great support of @ufop_de!

[Saminho @AgentFortynine]

I’m really excited to be participating in the 4th International Legume Society Conference in Granada #ilsgranada2023. It’s been an impactful experience meeting and interacting with renowned legume researchers. #fababean #ILS4

[Nazanin Pesaran Afsharyan @NazannAfsharyan]

Just had the privilege of presenting my research at 16th International Rapeseed Congress in Sydney, Australia. Inspiring to hear from world-renowned leaders of rapeseed research and industry while connecting with fellow researchers and experts in the field. @pbgiessen @dfg_public

[Lee Hickey @DrHikov]

A great couple of days hosting our collaborators from @jlugiessen @pbgiessen for the International Research Training Group @UQ_News

We even have very cool uniforms…
