Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that David MacHugh UCD School of Agriculture and
Food Science, University College Dublin, Ireland will be the speaker for
the upcoming talk of the animal- genomics Special Interest Group, taking
place on Wednesday, April 15th, at 1600 CEST.

Dr. MacHugh is Full Professor of Functional Genomics at University College
Dublin, Conway Investigator, and member of the UCD One Health Centre, with
over 170 peer-reviewed publications spanning livestock paleogenomics, host-
pathogen interactions, and comparative genomics.

Find below the title and abstract of his talk

Using genomics to understand bovine tuberculosis disease caused by
infection with Mycobacterium bovis

Bovine tuberculosis bTB, caused by Mycobacterium bovis, remains one of the
most significant infectious diseases affecting cattle worldwide, with major
implications for animal welfare, agricultural productivity, and public
health. In this talk, Dr. MacHugh will discuss how genomic approaches are
being used to illuminate host-pathogen interactions in bTB, including the
development of biomarkers for M. bovis infection and the genetic basis of
disease resilience. He will also present a One Health strategy that
integrates comparative analyses of human TB Mycobacterium tuberculosis to
advance our understanding across both human and animal populations.

The nf-core animal- genomics group is an open group for anyone interested
in using/developing nf-core tools tailored for animal genomics. It
provides a collaborative space to share expertise, troubleshoot, and stay
updated with the latest developments. For more information about it please
watch this nf-core bytesize talk introducing the group https://youtu.be/2vqHkveWAws or visit our site https://nf-co.re/special-interest-groups/animal-genomics

Our primary communication platform is Slack. We warmly invite you to become
part of the conversation and its vibrant community by joining the nf-core
Slack https://nf-co.re/join/slack and the animal-genomics channel.
