George P. Laliotis

Dr. George P. Laliotis serves as an Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry at the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), where he is actively affiliated with the Laboratory of Animal Breeding & Husbandry. His academic work centers on molecular mechanisms underlying livestock productivity, with significant contributions to understanding DNA-polymorphism associations with productive traits and physiological processes in ruminants.

His educational background includes:

• B.Sc in Animal Science (2002)
• M.Sc. in Animal Production (2004)
• Ph.D. (2007) focused on molecular cloning and physiological roles of ovine G6PD transcripts

Dr. Laliotis' research program spans Animal Breeding, Molecular Genetics, and Physiological Genomics, with particular emphasis on Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase systems in sheep and genomic applications in cattle. His work bridges fundamental molecular biology with practical livestock production challenges, examining oxidative stress biomarkers, welfare assessment platforms, and indigenous breed conservation.

Analysis of his 2018-2020 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory integrating omics technologies with traditional animal science. Key themes include molecular characterization of metabolic enzymes in sheep, genomic diversity studies of Mediterranean cattle breeds, development of welfare monitoring systems for extensive production, and investigation of periparturient health challenges in dairy cows—demonstrating his commitment to translational research in sustainable livestock systems.
