Summary
Artem Pankin is a computational biology researcher with nine years of experience applying genomics and quantitative genetics to plant breeding and crop improvement. He has led genome assembly and GWAS projects combining long- and short-read sequencing, built bioinformatics infrastructure, and supervised students across academia and industry, currently at Rijk Zwaan in the Netherlands. His PhD and postdoctoral work at Max Planck and University of Düsseldorf focused on domestication genomics in barley and discovery of breeding targets, blending hands-on data analysis in R with team leadership. Artem uniquely bridges field phenotyping and high-throughput sequencing, turning multi-environment trait screens into actionable candidate genes and markers for breeding pipelines.
