Representing INCAR\u00b2 were its director, Cristian Gallardo-Esc\u00e1rate, principal researcher Valentina Valenzuela-Mu\u00f1oz, and associate researcher Diego Valenzuela-Miranda.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the visit, the international representatives also toured INCAR\u00b2\u2019s laboratory facilities in Dichato, where they learned about the center\u2019s scientific and technological capabilities in applied aquaculture research.<\/p>\n<p>The session allowed the establishment of a shared roadmap focused on developing innovative solutions to improve health resilience and productivity in the aquaculture sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration between INCAR2 and Hendrix-Genetics is a concrete example of how the connection between academia and industry can accelerate the development of new technologies and foster innovation. These types of alliances are essential to address current health challenges and move toward increasingly sustainable aquaculture,\u201d emphasized University of Concepci\u00f3n academic and CIA-INCAR\u00b2 Director, Dr. Cristian Gallardo-Esc\u00e1rate.<\/p>\n<p>Both institutions agreed that international cooperation and the integration of scientific and productive capacities are key elements to drive genetic improvement and support the sustainable development of aquaculture in Chile.<\/p>\n<div class='photo-galleria' >\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-35350 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/centroincar.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/incar-hendrixs.jpeg' title=''><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/centroincar.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/incar-hendrixs-350x200.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-35351'>\n\t\t\t\tEl Centro Interdisciplinario para la Investigaci\u00f3n Acu\u00edcola-Investigaci\u00f3n Aplicada, CIA-INCAR\u00b2, recibi\u00f3 la visita de representantes de la empresa internacional Hendrix-Genetics, en una jornada de trabajo orientada a potenciar la investigaci\u00f3n en gen\u00f3mica y sanidad de especies acu\u00edcolas.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- .photo-galleria -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCAR\u00b2 and Hendrix-Genetics are moving forward with a strategic alliance to boost research in genomics, bioinformatics, and disease resistance in aquatic species, with a special focus on salmon farming.
