Personal Summary
Christian Keambou Tiambo is Lecturer of Animal Breeding and Genetics Improvement in the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, University of Buea. He also teaches in other Higher Institutions of Cameroon and Abroad. He has particular interest on the Characterization, improvement and conservation of local Animal Genetic resources, with special references to Chickens. He has published widely livestock production in Cameroon. Up to date, more than 30 of these publications are on genetics and production systems of local chicken from various agro-ecological zones of Cameroon.
His current research explores the expression profiles of Quantitative Traits Loci (QTL) related genes as well as those of economic importance, and the nutrigenomic of local animal genetic resources fed localfeed ingredients use as growth promoter or prebiotic. The ultimate aim been the gene discovery for improvement of overall animal productions.
Christian is the animal science programme coordinator at the University of Buea.He is leading the AnGR-Science Action and Development, acommunity of practice for chicken genetic research and development in six countries from western, central and east Africa, under the coordination of BecA-ILRI Hub, Nairobi-Kenya. His is member of the Animal Genetic resources Taxonomy Advisory Group (AnGR-TAG) of the African Union InterAfrican Bureau of Animal Resources, and CEO of Green Gold Agro-Venture Cameroon.
Christian is member of many scientific society, among which:
– DAD-IS Network (Domestic Animal Diversity Information System Network)
– WPSA-CMR (World poultry science association-Cameroon Branch)
– AGSNet (African Graduate Nutrition Student Network)
– Cameroon Bioscience Society
– Editorial Board Member of Journal of Agricultural Science. www.ccsenet.org
