The 2024 AB Chapman Lecturer in Animal Breeding and Genetics is Dr. Paul
VanRaden (see below for more details).
The 2024 AB Chapman lectures will be presented Monday April 29 at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. VanRaden will be giving a seminar,
titled Improving progress across generations of cows, farmers, and
scientists, at 4 PM Central Time.

Paul VanRaden is a senior research geneticist in the Animal Genomics and
Improvement Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, United States
Department of Agriculture, in Beltsville, Maryland. VanRaden received his BS
from the University of Illinois, MS and PhD degrees from Iowa State
University, and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. VanRaden has developed efficient statistical and
computational methods to process phenotype, pedigree, and genotype data for
very large national and international dairy cattle populations. His methods
and programs allowed the implementation of US dairy cattle genomic
evaluations in January 2009, the first such system in the world. These same
genomic methods are now applied routinely to many other plant and animal
species. VanRaden has also developed genetic-economic indexes, such as the
Lifetime Net Merit (NM$) index, the flagship selection index of the US dairy
industry. In 2020 VanRaden was inducted into the Agriculture Research Service
Hall of Fame.
The A.B. Chapman Lectures in Animal Breeding and Genetics have been presented
annually since 1994 by leading world scholars in the various fields related
to the genetic improvement of livestock.
