My research focuses on veterinary reproductive physiology and biotechnology, particularly in the maturation of oocytes and the development of embryos in animals. Factors influencing fertility in domestic animals (and human) and gamete-embryo-genital tract interactions are key areas of my study, with a special emphasis on extracellular vesicles and the genital microbiome. Molecular and cellular mechanisms that affect oocyte maturation and early embryonic development are explored with the goal of improving reproductive efficiency and success rates across various animal species.  Novel approaches in cryopreservation of gametes and embryos are important for veterinarians working in the field . This work contributes to a deeper understanding of animal reproduction, with practical applications in breeding programs and wildlife conservation efforts.
