Christian Reimer

Dr. Christian Reimer serves as a Researcher at the Department of Breeding and Genetic Resources within the Institute of Farm Animal Genetics (ING), Julius Kühn-Institute - Germany's Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants. Holding a Dr. sc. agr. degree from the University of Göttingen, he operates from the institute's Neustadt facility at Höltystrasse 10, with direct contact via +49 5034 8715301.

Research Focus:
Dr. Reimer specializes in quantitative and population genetics targeting farm animal biodiversity conservation. His work develops advanced breeding methodologies using high-density genome data to manage deleterious genetic variation in endangered domestic breeds. Current projects directly support the German Gene Bank's mission through genomic analysis frameworks implemented at the Mariensee/Mecklenhorst Experimental Station.

Institutional Integration:
He collaborates within ING's scientific cohort including Prof. Dr. C. Klein and Prof. Dr. S. Weigend, contributing to national genetic resource strategies. His research bridges theoretical population genetics with practical livestock conservation, emphasizing sustainable genomic approaches for preserving agricultural heritage breeds across Germany.
