Dorian J Garrick (Edited By)
graduated from Massey University in New Zealand in 1982 and
embarked on his career in animal breeding and genetics. Much of his
work has involved national genetic evaluation and its application
to cost-effective improvement of livestock populations. Prior to
undertaking a PhD at Cornell University, Garrick worked at Massey
University on the application of animal models to evaluation and
estimation of genetic trends in pig and sheep improvement. He
returned to Massey in 1988 and worked on across-breed animal
evaluation in dairy cattle. In 1994 he was appointed to the A.L.
Rae Chair in animal breeding and genetics at Massey University, a
position he has held part-time since 2002 when he relocated to the
USA. In 2007 he took up the inaugural appointment to the J.L. Lush
endowed chair at Iowa State University, a position named after the
father of animal breeding. His current research focus involves the
use of genomic information in animal improvement. Garrick has
published 150 papers in refereed journals, over 200 conference
papers, and 12 book chapters. He has supervised 21 PhD students and
presented over 700 oral presentations at conference and industry
meetings.
Anatoly Ruvinsky (Edited By)
Since graduation from Novosibirsk State University (Russia) in 1969
A. Ruvinsky has been working in several fields of genetics for more
than 40 years. He received his PhD in 1974 and Dr.Sc. in 1985. In
1986 A. Ruvinsky was elected as head of laboratory of animal
genetics and 1988 as Vice Director of the Institute of Cytology and
Genetics of Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1993 A. Ruvinsky joined
the University of New England, Australia. Professor Ruvinsky
published more than 100 refereed papers in leading genetic journals
and edited 14 books so far. This includes the series of books on
mammalian genetics, which currently undergoes 2nd edition. His
conceptual book "Genetics and Randomness" was published in 2009.
