Pim Brascamp

Pim Brascamp, a Professor at Wageningen University & Research's Animal Breeding and Genetics department, specializes in honeybee genetics and breeding optimization. His research focuses on enhancing genetic gain through phenotyping strategies and resilience traits in Apis mellifera populations.

• Key affiliations: Wageningen University & Research, Animal Breeding and Genetics

Research Trends (2024–2025):

• Recent publications address breeding goal design, inbreeding effects, and trait correlations for honey yield and disease resistance.
• Active in developing methods to accelerate genetic improvement via reduced generation intervals and partial phenotyping.

Collaborations & Dissemination:

• Co-authored studies with European institutions (Estonian University of Life Sciences) and experts like Pieter Bijma.
• Delivered lectures on honeybee assessment and breeding value estimation, including a 2019 presentation on Varroa destructor resistance.
