Achieving progress requires a commitment of time, energy and expertise, and that is exemplified in the CDCB team.
In 2023, CDCB expanded its team to satisfy the growing demand for services and products that benefit dairy producers. Opportunities continue to grow – to leverage genomic technologies, develop new data pipelines and continue improving dairy production. The CDCB team, along with research partners at USDA AGIL, is set to maximize these opportunities.

CDCB is committed to developing and supporting the next generation of dairy cattle geneticists and researchers through internships, post-doctorate appointments and fellowships since 2016. CDCB interns have a unique opportunity to work directly with leading scientists at CDCB and USDA AGIL while conducting research in their area of interest.
Internship applications open in the late fall.
