Cristina Sartori is a researcher in animal breeding and genetics at the University of Padova, DAFNAE; she has a PhD in Animal Science and a Master degree in Evolutionary Biology. She is currently a teacher in Applied Statistics and Data managing for animal science for undergraduates. Main research topics: estimation of genetic parameters in local cattle and horse breeds; investigation of genetic diversity in local breeds using pedigree data and genomic information; genetic correlations and response to selection in functional traits and novel traits of breeding interest. Cristina collaborates with some National Breeding Organizations for estimations of breeding values and for research development.
