PAG Australia • Perth, Western Australia • 20-22 September 2023

In response to the expanding global population, worldwide climate changes, and dramatic plant and animal genome research occurring in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region, the organizers of the Plant and Animal Genome Conference are planning a short version of PAG to be held in Perth, Western Australia.

PAG Australia will be held 20-22 September 2023, spanning three days (Wednesday through Friday) and consist of plenary talks, scientific sessions and industry workshops, an expo of tabletop exhibits from leading companies in the agri-genomics industry, and a gallery of poster abstracts.

Attendee Information / Exhibitor Information

Ben Hayes

Centre Director

Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, University of Queensland, Australia

Genetics and genomics for livestock and crop breeding

Robert Henry

Professor

Innovation in Agriculture, University of Queensland, Australia

Application of genomics to capturing biodiversity for agriculture with special emphasis on Australian plant species.

Jennifer Meadows

Senior Research Scientist

Uppsala University, Sweden

The long-term research goals of Jennifer Meadow's research group are to identify the genes and molecular variants that underpin traits of importance to both the health and well-being of companion animals. Paired with this is a comparative genetics aspect, where through international collaborative efforts, research findings are translated to aid human patients with orthologous disease sets.

Jennie Pryce

Professor/Research Director

Agriculture Victoria Research and La Trobe University, Australia

Jennie’s main research interests are genetic improvement of traits associated with health, welfare and environmental impact in dairy cows.

Camilla Whittington

Senior Lecturer

University of Sydney, Australia

The research of the Whittington Lab is focused on evolutionary and integrative zoology, and aims to understand the evolution of complex traits. They are especially interested in understanding the biology and evolution of pregnancy and the placenta.
