Biography
Ani A. Elias is a recipient of the prestigious Ramalingaswami fellowship and is presently working at the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, India. She received her Ph.D. from Purdue University, USA with a specialization in statistical genetics and gained postdoctoral experience in genomic selection (GS) from Cornell University, USA. She has worked on GS and other genomic prediction models in maize, sorghum, cassava, and safflower both in the private and public sectors.
Shailendra Goel is a professor at the Department of Botany, University of Delhi from where he received his Ph.D. He is involved in genetics and genomics studies of complex and important traits in various crops. He has developed a comprehensive breeding program on safflower, a promising native oil seed crop from India. He has a prolific research career with publications in major journals, and editorial services to publishers such as Oxford, Springer, and Elsevier.
