Join us to our joint event with GENE-SWitCH project at WCGALP 2022 in Rotterdam!

Every four years, the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production (WCGALP) takes place in a different location throughout the world, and this time it is taking place in the harbour city of Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
We are happy to announce that GEroNIMO, alongside GENE-SWitCH project, will bring up to the event very interesting outputs about animal breeding, functional annotation, genomics, and the challenges in our society.

We hope to see you there!
