Manuela Meyer

Manuela Meyer is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN), currently serving as a Data Steward in the Data Service Center. She holds a Master of Science in Technomathematics from the University of Rostock (2014) with a minor in Mechanical Engineering. Her research focuses on quantitative genetics, QTL mapping, Bayesian analyses, and simulation studies. She has contributed to advancements in statistical methodologies for genetic evaluation and genomic selection.

Recent publications emphasize marker effect modeling in backcross experiments, Mendelian sampling covariability, and SNP-based genetic variance calculations. Her work bridges statistical theory with practical applications in animal breeding. Meyer teaches in the Master’s program in Sustainable Agricultural Systems at the University of Rostock, focusing on statistical modeling and experimental design.

Her career spans roles as a Research Assistant in genomics and animal breeding at FBN, with doctoral studies in genetics and biometry (2014). She actively collaborates with interdisciplinary teams, contributing to the FBN’s Data Service Center’s mission in agricultural bioscience research infrastructure.
