Summary
Juan Steibel is a Professor and J. Lush Endowed Chair in Animal Breeding and Genetics with over a decade of experience building research programs at the interface of quantitative and molecular genomics. He leads extramurally funded work in precision livestock management, phenomics, and the genetic dissection of complex traits in swine, combining genetics, biostatistics, and high-performance computing. His expertise includes genetic association studies and RNA-seq experiment design and analysis across animal species, with sustained funding from USDA-AFRI, industry boards, and academic sources. Based in Ames, Iowa, he has progressed from graduate research through faculty ranks at Michigan State to his current role at Iowa State, reflecting a career-long focus on translating genomic methods into actionable phenotyping and breeding strategies. An often-overlooked strength is his practical experience implementing two-stage association designs and RNA-seq workflows that bridge statistical theory and farm-scale application.
