Hassan Aliloo

Dr. Hassan Aliloo is a Research Fellow in Animal Breeding Program Design at the University of New England's School of Environmental and Rural Science. His research applies genomic technologies to enhance genetic improvement in cattle populations worldwide.

Research integrates large-scale genomic and phenotypic datasets to develop genomic prediction models for novel traits including consumer satisfaction metrics, longevity, and adaptation signatures. Techniques encompass whole-genome sequence imputation, random regression modeling, and genome-wide association studies. Applications span Australian Angus beef systems, smallholder dairy farms in Africa and India, and crossbred cattle populations.

Key contributions:

• Advanced genomic prediction methods using imputed sequence data
• Genetic parameter estimation for novel traits
• Development of low-density SNP panels for resource-limited systems
• Detection of selection signatures in beef cattle

Research bridges advanced genomics with practical breeding applications across diverse production environments.
