Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLiz Hare is a quantitative geneticist with over 6 years of applied experience translating complex genetic, behavioral, and health data into actionable breeding decisions for working dog programs. She has led large-scale genomic and pedigree analyses—running quality control on high-density SNP data, estimating heritabilities and breeding values, and implementing selection indices that demonstrably improved behavioral and orthopedic outcomes. Her work spans government, academic, and non-profit settings (TSA, Penn Vet Working Dog Center, Leader Dogs for the Blind), and she combines hands-on coding in R, PLINK, MTDFREML, SOLAR and other specialized tools with practical program implementation. Liz also has a background in psychiatric genetics and livestock improvement, giving her a rare interdisciplinary perspective on quantitative trait analysis across species. She teaches and mentors practitioners to use statistical genetics methods directly in breeding programs, and has organized multidisciplinary conferences to bridge research and practice. Based in New York, she pairs rigorous academic training (PhD in Genetics) with proven, program-level impact in working-dog genetics.
