Our primary interest focuses on the molecular basis of gamete (germ cell) formation and function towards the development of biotechnological inventions for animal production and conservation biology. Present research lines include: (1) Comparative studies on the evolution, structure and function of molecular water channels (aquaporins); (2) Molecular physiology of aquaporins and ion channels in male and female gametes; (3) Development of new biotechnological methods based on aquaporins for cell preservation; and (4) Molecular endocrinology of spermiogenesis.
Research Keywords: Spermatogenesis, oogenesis, endocrinology, aquaporin, physiology, evolution, cell preservation
