Thea Johanna Aandstad Hettasch

I am a PhD Research Fellow in the Genome Biology research group at the Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences, Faculty of Biosciences, at NMBU. My research focuses on genomics and bioinformatics, with a particular interest in genetic variation and genome assembly in Norwegian Red cattle.
 

Using computational methods and genomic data, I study genome structure, inheritance, and genetic diversity. Through this work, I aim to improve our understanding of cattle genetics and contribute to tools and resources that support both research and breeding.
