Dr. Hako Touko Blaise Arnaud received his Bachelor degree in Animal Science in 2004 from the Faculty of Science of the University of Dschang and his Master degree in Animal Parasitology and Immunology in 2006 from the Faculty of Science of the University of Yaounde 1, Cameroon.

He is a holder of a Master of Science in Animal Biotechnology and Production systems with a concentration in Animal Breeding and Genetics (2008) and a PhD in Animal Breeding and Genetics (2015) all from the Faculty of Agronomy and Agricultural Sciences of the University of Dschang, Cameroon.

As a lecturer, he teaches Animal Breeding and Genetics. He is a research investigator with interest in the field of Biotechnology, Animal breeding and selection for disease resistance, Organic Animal Production and Community Based Management of Animal genetic resources with a focus on local breeds.

He has been awarded some distinctions as the African Bioscience Challenge Fund (ABCF 2012) with Bioscience for eastern and central Africa of the International Livestock Research Institute (BecA-ILRI), Nairobi, Kenya and the IFS Research Grant 2011 and 2015 for his achievement and Research on the Evaluation of disease resistance in Cameroon native chicken population with particular interest on the Newcastle disease.

He is the Author or co-author of about 20 books and publications.
