About the Speaker
At Kerns Lab, our passion and expertise lie in unraveling the complexities of boar and bull sperm fertility as well as sires of other species. Utilizing a comprehensive multi-omic approach, including proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, genomics, and epigenomics, we delve into the molecular intricacies that govern reproductive success in livestock. Our innovative use of advanced techniques such as epifluorescent and confocal microscopy, image-based flow cytometry (IBFC) with the ImageStreamX Mark II, sorting flow cytometry (BD FACSMelody and BD FACSDiscover S8), and classic molecular biology methods like Western blotting, positions us at the cutting edge of molecular male reproductive physiology research.
About the IRHG Seminar Series
The goal of the Interdisciplinary Reproduction & Health Group (IRHG) Seminar Series is to highlight transdisciplinary precision research taking place in the reproductive health field, provide opportunities for collaboration among researchers to build their own research efforts and promote clinical/researcher activity across the University of Missouri System and our partners.
The IRHG was organized and established through a faculty-driven, grass roots effort in 2016 to develop an integrative interdisciplinary program that transcends traditional departmental, college and system boundaries to foster excellence in reproduction, health research and education at Mizzou.
