Roslin Reels – with Professor Mizeck Chagunda

The Roslin Reels are a series of short-form video features created by the Roslin Institute to showcase bite-sized updates of their scientific research.

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?”

Tropical Livestock Challenges

Professor Chagunda’s 60 second response can be viewed below and on YouTube:

“It was a pleasure to participate in Roslin Reels and thankfully the strict instruction of a 60 second response came with a friendly addendum of “No pressure”.

Professor Mizeck Chagunda, CTLGH Director and Chair of Tropical Livestock Genetics, University of Edinburgh
