Career summary, research topics and interests
Dr Sarah Blott is a Research Group Leader at the Animal Health Trust and is interested in the development of breeding schemes for companion animals and horse that combine state-of-the-art knowledge in quantitative genetics with molecular genetic markers. She has an MSc in Animal Breeding and a PhD in Quantitative Genetics, completed at the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh). Following the award of a Wellcome Trust Travelling Fellowship, she went to the University of Liège, Belgium to work with Professor Michel Georges on methods for fine mapping of complex trait loci in dairy cattle. In 2002 she joined Sygen International plc, one of the world’s leading animal breeding companies, as a Senior Research Scientist and was responsible for data analysis on several research projects in the areas of gene mapping and high throughput gene expression analysis. She has also successfully managed multi-partner European Commission research projects and was a Visiting Scientist at the University of Cambridge Vet School in 2005.
