Professor Danquah’s professional focus is on genetic diversity in crop plants and how diversity relates to performance. He has consulted for the Science Council of the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the USAID and participated in over 130 international meetings in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the United Kingdom.

In 2008, he served on a six-member international panel that reviewed the International Crops Research Centre for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad, India. He was a member of the IFAD International Review Team that evaluated the 10 million US dollar Root and Tuber Improvement Programme in Ghana in 2003. He was also a member of the international peer-review committee of the Volkswagen Foundation’s Africa initiative on “Resources, their dynamics and sustainability - Capacity Development and Comparative and Integrative Approaches” in 2009 and 2010 and a member of the Steering and Advisory Committee of the CGIAR Dryland Cereals research project led by ICRISAT, 2014 - 2017. He is a member of the Maize Genetics Executive Committee, a member of the Advisory Board of the Centre for African Leadership Investment and Development, Leipzig, Germany, a member of Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of the Bill and Melinda Gates-funded AfricaYam Project based at the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria and a member of the Advisory and Management Board of the African Centre for Crop Improvement, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

He has facilitated the establishment of several link programmes some of which have opened opportunities for PhD placements for UG students in world-class universities. He was instrumental in securing funding for the University of Ghana Water Augmentation Programme in the mid-2000s. He has 111 refereed journal articles, 4 books, a book chapter and over 40 other publications to his credit.

Teaching Focus

His WACCI project has enrolled 137 PhD students in Plant Breeding from 19 African counties and graduated 81 students who are leading plant breeding programmes in National Agricultural Research Institutions in Africa. He has also introduced a new Masters programme in Seed Science and Technology, which has attracted 55 students in five years. Three improved maize hybrids which yield between 9-11 t/ha have been released by WACCI for commercialization in Ghana under his leadership. He has a passion for and a commitment to appropriate organisational functioning and the use of science for development and has mentored many young academics. He also has the flair for farming and has engaged farmers over many decades in best practices. He serves on the Advisory Board to the Federation of Young Farmers, Ghana and is the Chairman of the Advisory and Oversight Board of the Samira Empowerment & Humanitarian Projects, Ghana.

Professor Danquah has 120 refereed journal articles, 4 books, book chapters and over 40 other publications to his credit that demonstrate his expertise in the following research areas:
