Reproduction​​

Our work is oriented to the study of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence reproduction in swine species.

Comparative spermatology and cryobiology. In our work with wild species (mammal and avian species) our aims fall under the headings of their reproductive physiology and its application in conservation (germplasm banks) and sustainability. Bridges between wild animal reproduction and domestic animals reproductive technologies. Application in conservation of threatened breeds.

Genetic control of preimplantation development and gametogenesis, applications in reproductive biotechnology, animal production and ART

We study reproductive processes using CRISPR technology to improve fertility and to understand embryo development in farm animals and humans.

Our work is aimed at conducting epidemiological studies of parasitic diseases.

Study, development and application of reproductive management techniques to increase production and sustainability, facilitating both in situ and ex situ conservation, through the establishment of germplasm banks, mainly of domestic breeds and wildlife species in danger of extinction or of a special interest.

Our research focuses on the analysis of early embryonic development in vivo and in vitro in mammals, the understanding of mechanisms controlling embryo-maternal interactions, the study of factors responsible for infertility in dairy cows, and the development of strategies reducing embryonic losses and increasing pregnancy rates.

Spermatology in animal production and conservation (SAProC) and signalling mechanisms involved in sperm physiology and in the cross-talk and/or male-female interaction.
