Mirirai Lisa Pasipanodya

Mirirai Lisa Pasipanodya is a PhD researcher at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on developing cost-effective genomic approaches for crop breeding using whole-genome sequencing, bioinformatics, genotype imputation and statistical genetics. She has multidisciplinary experience across genomics, molecular biology and data science, including next-generation sequencing, genome assembly, SNP genotyping and computational analysis. Her current research investigates the application of low-coverage sequencing and genomic technologies to improve genomic selection and breeding efficiency in apple.
