The endocrinology-reproductive physiology graduate program explores the physiological basis of reproductive challenges in livestock, primates, and lab animals, aiming to address these issues through enhanced reproductive management approaches. This program bridges fundamental and practical research in reproduction, endocrine function, nutrition-reproduction relationships, and hormonal synchronization techniques to boost reproductive outcomes. Investigations encompass gene action mechanisms, physiological genetics, in vitro processes (maturation, fertilization, embryo growth), cloning, genetic modification, neuro-endocrine systems, plus environmental and genetic influences on puberty onset and postpartum anestrus.
