Marcelo Mollinari

Bio

Dr. Mollinari’s primary research interests lie in genetic statistics and its applications in understanding complex biological processes of species with more than two paired sets of chromosomes, known as polyploid species. His work centers around developing and applying statistical and computational strategies to decode the complexity of inheritance patterns in these species, focusing on plant breeding.
