Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Austin M. Putz's research focuses on the genetic basis of disease resilience in pigs. His work investigates the relationship between an animal's genetic makeup and its ability to withstand disease challenges, particularly in commercial swine breeding populations. Putz has studied the effects of specific genetic markers, such as for the GBP5 gene, on resilience to polymicrobial disease. He also examines quantitative traits like blood transcriptome profiles and plasma protein levels as potential indicators of disease resistance. His research utilizes genome-wide association studies and reaction norm models to understand the genetic architecture underlying these traits. Putz's publications also include work on the genetic parameters of feeding and drinking behaviors in pigs under disease challenge conditions and trends in genomic inbreeding within commercial swine populations. He has published 52 papers, with an h-index of 11 and 577 citations.
