Bio
Dr. Naalamle Amissah is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Crop Science at the University of Ghana. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, a Master of Science Degree and a Ph.D. in Horticulture from Cornell University, USA. Her research has focused on the selection, evaluation, and propagation of economically important plants that are either difficult-to-propagate or at risk of extinction (such as Vitellaria paradoxa, Synsepalum dulcificum, Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, Croton membranaceus), and the development of improved technologies that would ensure their successful establishment.
Through a research grant she received from the Volkswagen Foundation in 2011, her research has developed domestication protocols for the cultivation of Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, a medicinal plant species, on the verge of extinction, used in the treatment of malaria. Her research also involves identifying neglected and underutilized crop species with potential to address climate change related problems and food security challenges in Ghana. Dr. Amissah is a recipient of the 2016 Cambridge Africa Partnership for Research Excellence (CAPREx) Fellowship Award. An award which enabled her spend four months developing tissue culture protocols for Cryptolepis sanguinolenta at the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) in the UK. Dr. Amissah spent 5 months in 2018 as a Visiting Scholar with the Harvard Centre for African Studies (CAS), Harvard University, where her research focused on “Climate Change as it relates to Agriculture and Health in Africa.” She is the team lead for Plant Tissue Culture at West Africa Centre for Crop Improvement (WACCI).
