Plenary Lecture:  Kwan-Suk Kim - "Genomic Understanding of Asian Indigenous Livestock Diversity: Current needs and Future values"  

Dr. Kwan-Suk Kim has BSc in Dairy Science (1994, Kyungpook National University, Korea), MSc in Molecular Genetics (2000, Iowa State University, USA) and a PhD in Animal Breeding and Genetics (2003, Iowa State University). In 2004, he returned to Korea and joined Dept. of Animal Science of Chungbuk National University as faculty on Animal Genomics position. Prof. Kim’s research interests are centered about biological and genomic aspects of animal breeding, with special application to beef cattle and swine. He is primarily known for his work on the development of DNA markers on economically important traits in domestic animals. His current goals are to assist the transfer of advanced genomic technologies to enhance livestock improvement in developing countries and to integrate research on genetic diversity, conservation and utilization of livestock resources for global agriculture.
