Research Geneticist (Animals)
Bailey Engle, Ph.D.
Research Geneticist
Dr. Engle is a Research Geneticist focusing on genetic selection and improvement in beef cattle. Trained at Montana State University (B.S. Animal Science) and Texas A&M University (Ph.D. Animal Breeding), her research interests center on utilizing a combination of molecular and quantitative genetics to better understand genomic trait architecture and to increase the effectiveness of genetic selection. She has a special interest in evaluating and improving cow reproduction and female fertility phenotypes, particularly in cattle with Brahman or Bos indicus influence. Her research program has largely focused on genomic selection for cow and heifer productivity.
