The Tesfaye Laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms associated with various aspects of female reproduction including ovarian functionality and preimplantation embryo development, predominantly using the bovine model with translational facets to humans.

The mission of the Tesfaye Lab is to:

• Provide state-of-the-art professional training to undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral fellows in molecular reproductive physiology, with a special emphasis on designing experiments, interpreting data, and superior presentation and publication of results.
• Provide trainees with the latest advancements in scientific investigation and methodologies in the field of reproductive biology.
• Facilitate a productive and collaborative interaction between science and implementation in the field.
• Contribute to the well-being of humans, animals, and the environment.
• Provide a creative, supportive, collaborative, challenging, and enjoyable environment for scientific research in the field of reproductive physiology, with a special emphasis on female reproductive function.
