Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Amadeu is a Senior Quantitative Genetics Scientist with 10 years of experience applying statistical genetics and data-driven breeding approaches across major crops, currently leading quantitative genetics efforts for soybean at Bayer Crop Science. He combines a PhD in Horticultural Science with hands-on breeding, phenotyping, and advanced genomic prediction to turn complex genetic data into actionable selection strategies. Rodrigo has a track record of developing and maintaining domain-specific software (e.g., contributions to AGHmatrix, diaQTL, onemap families and fullsibQTL) that bridges computational methods and breeding practice. His background spans academic research in blueberry and cassava-related labs to industry-scale germplasm improvement for corn and soybean, reflecting both methodological depth and practical impact. Based in Chesterfield, Missouri, he emphasizes reproducible, data-driven pipelines that accelerate varietal improvement and often surfaces nonobvious genetic signals through careful experiment design and mixed-model inference.
