I am still working with barley breeding and genomics. After a four year period as Dean of the College of Agronomy, I am back at my old position in the Exp. Station. I am the leader of the University´s Barley project, working in collaboration with the rest of the Uruguayan Barley community (INIA, National Lab, Malting companies). Malting barley is still strong in Uruguay as an export crop, so we can foresee a lot of work in the future. As we learn at OSU, always working as a team.
