The Roslin Institute talks with Professor Mizeck Chagunda about the Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health (CTLGH) and the team’s work on tropical livestock challenges.
The CTLGH team endeavour to focus research towards generating tools, solutions, and technologies that address the productivity gaps and contribute to tackling global challenges through livestock improvement.
Professor Mizeck Chagunda, CTLGH Director and Chair of Tropical Livestock Genetics, University of Edinburgh, was asked two simple questions for the popular Roslin Reel.
“What is the current focus of your research?”
“And why does it matter?”
