Senior🎓
Top SchoolArthur Melo is an applied plant geneticist and associate researcher with over a decade of experience integrating population and quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, and molecular breeding to drive product-focused genomics strategies. He leads molecular lab operations and SNP-calling pipelines for marker-assisted selection, overseeing maize and soybean trait introgression, double haploid programs, germplasm curation, and biosafety compliance on multi-year projects. Trained to postdoctoral level in bioinformatics and holding a PhD in Genetics and Plant Breeding, he has developed bioinformatic tools (including work on GBS-SNP-CROP) and analyzed data from Illumina, PacBio, 10x Genomics and Nanopore platforms. Comfortable at the interface of wet lab and computational workflows, Arthur balances hands-on sequencing and genotyping with programming in R, Perl and Python to translate genomic insights into applied breeding outcomes.
