Amin Sayyari

Associate Professor

  • Stationary Clinics Section

I am working as an associate professor in animal reproduction. My main research interest includes fertility and how environmental factors can affect reproductive health and performance from a comparative perspective. In short, I use state-of-the-art methods for gamete collection, evaluation and cryopreservation for many of my studies. These methodologies allow us to study gamete function in different research disciplines. Our andrology lab combines a wide range of advanced morphological, molecular, cellular, and genomics tools to evaluate fertility and gamete cryobiology.

Disciplines:

  • Veterinary medicine 
  • Reproduction
  • Toxicology
  • Andrology
