I have PhD in Animal Science (Genomics) from the University of Pretoria. My MSc and PhD were obtained from the Professional Development Program of the ARC, funded by the NRF/DSI. I worked as a Researcher at the Agricultural Research Council-Animal Production, Animal Breeding and Genetics, on different research projects on livestock genomics and a supervisor to honours, masters and PhD students. I worked as the Lab Director of Molecular Genetics Operations at 54gene, managing genotyping, sequencing and biobank operations. I am now managing projects at EPPI, within the Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology. My field of interest is genomics and bioinformatics.
