Advancing fertility research in farm animals through innovative work in sperm transcriptomics, proteomics, cryopreservation, and spermatogonial stem cell biology.
The Reproductive Physiology Laboratory focuses on improving fertility in farm animals through novel research areas including profiling of sperm transcripts for predicting male fertility, sperm sexing by proteomic approaches, molecular markers for semen quality assessment, and spermatogonial stem cell research.
The laboratory hosts scholars from leading institutions across India and welcomes international researchers through the DBT-TWAS fellowship programme.
Identifying and characterising sperm transcripts to develop predictive and screening tools for diagnosing male fertility in farm animals.
Employing advanced proteomic and genomic approaches to selectively isolate sex-specific spermatozoa in bovine for precision livestock breeding.
Developing molecular biomarkers for comprehensive assessment of semen quality and cryo-susceptibility to enhance cryopreservation outcomes.
Characterising, purifying, and culturing SSCs in vitro alongside cryopreservation and ECM standardisation for long-term stemness maintenance.
Advancing protocols for semen freezing and thawing to maximise post-thaw viability and fertility, with a focus on buffalo and bovine species.
Investigating immuno-modulatory molecular signatures in relation to semen fertility to uncover novel pathways influencing reproductive success.
The laboratory is equipped with modern instrumentation for advanced semen evaluation, sperm transcriptomics, proteomics, and cryopreservation studies.
