Career Trajectory
Bio
Rainer Roehe is Professor of Animal Genetics and Microbiome at Scotland’s Rural College. His overall research aim is to get insight into the microbiome in the rumen (the first of cow’s four stomachs), its effects on performance of bovine and its interactions with the host genome. Specifically, he is interested in understanding the functional genetics and pathways of the rumen microbiome and microbial genes associated with performance traits in bovine. His research is involved in the identification of quantitative genetic and genomic links between the host animal and rumen microbial community as well as microbial genes to be exploited for mitigation of methane emissions and improvement of feed conversion efficiency, meat quality, animal health, behavioural and welfare traits in ruminants. He is elucidating the symbiotic interactions between rumen microbiome and host considered as single ecological unit – the ‘holobiont’ using different –omics technologies. His collaborative teams have successfully applying bioinformatics on whole metagenome sequencing data to reveal metagenome-assembled genomes of rumen microbial species never being sequenced before. His publication entitled ‘Bovine host genetic variation influences rumen microbial methane production with best selection criterion for low methane emitting and efficiently feed converting hosts based on metagenomic gene abundance‘ was awarded the PLOS Genetics Research Prize 2017 based on scientific excellence and community impact. In addition, his team’s host genetics-microbiome research has been shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Honours Award 2018 in the category Research Project of the Year: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
