Profile Summary

Bullo Mamo, Ph.D., is a Canadian Government Laboratory NSERC Visiting Fellow at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon, Saskachewan since December 2014. He is currently working on introgressing sclerotinia resistance into breeding lines of canola through marker assisted back-crossing and related activities. Prior to this, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of California at Davis since receiving his doctorate in genetics of disease resistance in barley from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 2013. As a postdoc at UC Davis, he was involved in development of chickpea population for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Climate Resilient Chickpea project. He has been at UC Davis in 2007-08 as a research scholar conducting molecular genetics research in cowpea. He obtained his master of science degree from Wageningen University, the Netherlands, conducting a thesis research in plant molecular biology. He has served the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research as a research associate from 2003-05 after completing his undergraduate study in Plant Sciences at Haramaya University, Ethiopia. Dr. Mamo’s research interest spans basic plant science to the application of translational research in applied plant breeding to improve agricultural productivity.
