My main interest is population genetics, but all areas of genetics is interesting.
I am teaching population genetics and sheep breeding.
I am director of studies for undergraduate education at my department.
I am involved in several research projects about genetic diversity and population structure in Swedish breeds of chicken, sheep, cattle, goat, and pig. In sheep I am also investigating wool colour and pelt traits and in goat i am invesutgating milk traits. I also have a project about gonadal hypoplasia in cattle.
