About
Gregory Maes is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at James Cook University (since January 2016) and Senior Project Developer/Manager at KU Leuven’s Genomics Core (Leuven, Belgium). His research focuses on multidisciplinary connectivity assessments, fisheries-induced evolution, and the genomic basis of conservation and aquaculture practices. He holds a postgraduate background in population and conservation genetics from the University of Leuven (Belgium), specializing in aquatic organisms like eels, flatfishes, and invasive carps.
Key research interests include
- Applied Genomic tool development for NGS diagnostics and sustainable breeding initiatives
- Aquaculture genomics and genomic impacts of farmed-wild interactions
- Conservation genomics of exploited populations at spatial/temporal scales
- Environmental DNA (eDNA) and microbial community analyses
- Marine invasion biology and ecosystem quality assessment
At KU Leuven, he manages innovative projects in Health Genomics, Personalized Medicine, and Molecular NGS diagnostics. His work spans translational genomics, plant/animal breeding genomics, and fisheries/aquaculture forensics, leveraging next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics tools.
Despite over 75 research papers and four book chapters since 2013, no specific articles are listed here. Awards are not mentioned in the provided text.
