Sallam Mohammed Abdallah
Sallam is a quantitative geneticist with a veterinarian background.

Presentation

  • Sallam applies statistical methods to analyze phenotypic, genotypic, and pedigree data in farm animals to enhance genetic improvements in health, production, and welfare, both national and international levels.
  • Sallam utilizes machine learning and computer vision for digital phenotyping of emerging traits.
