Dr. Eóin O'Hara is a Research Biologist in Bioinformatics
and Systems Biology of cattle with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. He
obtained his PhD in Animal Science (Meta-omics) from the University of Alberta
in 2019. Dr. Eóin O'Hara’s research mainly centers on integrating multi-omic
and production data in cattle to identify their contribution to animal
performance, health and disease, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Dr. Robert J. Gruninger is a research scientist at
Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada,
Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. He received a PhD in Biochemistry with a
specialization in enzymology and structural biology from the University of
Lethbridge in 2009. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the
University of British Columbia in 2012. Dr. Gruninger’s research focus is to
apply a combination of “-omics”-based techniques and protein biochemistry to
better understand the microbiology of ruminant microbes and the role that the
rumen microbiome plays in determining the efficiency of lignocellulose
degradation in the rumen.
