ReproGenT
The ReproGenT team focuses on assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in horses and cattle. Clinical application of ovum pick-up (OPU) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in the Equine Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is combined with fundamental research. Our main research lines involve: 1) in vitro embryo production by ICSI and IVF, 2) cryopreservation of gametes and embryos, 3) the application of -omics in reproduction, including preimplantation genetic testing, 4) maternal health and ART; and 4) signaling molecules in reproduction, including extracellular vesicles.
