Genomic analysis of the Ashanti Dwarf pig of Ghana and Sustainable agricultural production utilising genomic tools with Sethlina Naa Dodua Aryee

Join us today as we speak to an inspirational Woman in STEM,
Sethlina Naa Dodua Aryee, raised in Ghana, who moved to the
University of Cambridge to complete her PhD in sustainable food
production through the use of genomic and bioinformatic tools - a
global issue that she has been passionate about for her whole
life. Sethlina speaks to us today about her research into the
genomics of the indigenous Ashanti Dwarf pig, following
cross-breeding of the indigenous species with some overseas
species, as well as the differences between studying in Ghana and
the UK. The indigenous Ashanti dwarf pig is hugely
disease-resistant, so it is of great importance to harness this
trait for sustainable food security.
