Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Austin M. Putz investigates genetic factors influencing disease resilience, particularly in livestock models. His research has focused on identifying genetic markers, such as those for the GBP5 gene, and analyzing blood transcriptome data to understand relationships between genetic traits and disease resistance in pigs. Putz has also examined plasma protein levels and peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation as potential indicators of resilience. His work has involved genome-wide association studies to explore the genetic architecture of disease resilience, considering traits like complete blood count and feeding behaviors under natural disease challenge conditions.

Additionally, Putz has contributed to understanding genetic parameters related to animal husbandry, including drinking and feeding traits in pigs. His research also touches upon population genetics, with a publication on genomic inbreeding trends in commercial swine breeding populations. His work has resulted in 52 publications, with a total of 548 citations and an h-index of 11.
