Dr. Linlang Hou | Genetics | Best Researcher Award
Linlang Hou | Xinjiang Agricultural University | China
Dr. Linlang Hou is an emerging researcher at the College of Life Sciences, Xinjiang Agricultural University, with a focused interest in genetic diversity, functional gene screening, and population genetics of indigenous horse breeds in Xinjiang. Their research has made significant contributions to understanding the genetic background and ancestral relationships among regional horse populations, particularly highlighting the close genetic links between Kyrgyz and Yanqi breeds. This work not only enriches the existing genetic resource pool but also provides valuable insights into the evolutionary history and conservation potential of local livestock. Dr. Hou’s published findings in a recognized international journal reflect both the quality and relevance of their research, demonstrating an ability to address critical scientific questions with precision and rigor. While still in the early stages of their career, they exhibit strong potential for advancing genomic studies and applying genetic knowledge to sustainable breeding and biodiversity preservation. With continued commitment, collaborations, and broader engagement in academic communities, Dr. Hou is well-positioned to contribute to the global scientific discourse on genetic conservation, livestock improvement, and sustainable agriculture, making them a promising candidate for recognition as a dedicated and impactful researcher.
