Sallam is a quantitative geneticist with a veterinarian background.
Presentation
- Sallam aims to understand the genetics of animal health/performance, and drives approaches for long-term improvements of animal populations.
- Technically, Sallam is using statistical methods to process phenotype, genotypes, pedigree, and DNA sequence data to improve livestock/poultry on both national and international levels.
