My research interests: The use of feeding strategies to mitigate enteric methane emissions from Dairy cattle in the US

I am exploring the mammal’s embryo development, embryonic cell fate and adult cell reprogramming into iPSCs for understanding the key players of these pathways/mechanism on maintenance of pluripotency and cell differentiation to apply on in vitro models. Additional research interests: embryo production, epigenetics, metabolism, stem cells and chimeras.

My research focuses on sustainable ruminant production systems, with emphasis on enteric methane mitigation, nutritional strategies, and whole-system environmental assessment.

My research focuses on characterizing mammary energetics during the dry and lactating periods and unraveling the prepartum process of colostrogenesis, with the ultimate goal of improving cow and calf production efficiency.

Research Interests: Pathogenic bacteria of human and animals.

I use population genetics to investigate ecological and evolutionary processes relevant to wildlife conservation and management.

Research Interests: My research focuses on understanding the role and dynamics of rumen microorganisms—bacteria, methanogens, and anaerobic fungi—in rumen fermentation and enteric methane production. I am also developing mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants using feed additives and engineering tools.

Research Interests: Utilizing molecular methods to develop new assays for detection and monitoring of native species.

Research Interests: Monogastric animal nutrition and physiology.

Research Interests: My research focusses on using functional data (such as gene expression and histone modifications) to pinpoint genomic regions associated with agriculturally important traits in farm animals.

Research Interests: My research focuses on improving understanding of the function and dynamics of the rumen microbial ecosystem during fermentation and developing strategies that redirect hydrogen away from the methanogenesis pathway and towards beneficial compounds for the host, ultimately mitigating methane emissions and enhancing ruminant productivity at the same time.

My research background is in genetics and reproduction, currently I am working on developing gene edited animals to sex-specifically disrupt sperm function resulting production of a single sex of offspring.
