The endocrinology-reproductive physiology area ranges from hormonal studies with livestock, primates and laboratory animals to biochemical studies at the cellular level. These studies include mechanism of gene action, physiological genetics, in vitro maturation, fetilization, embryo development, cloning and gene transfer, neuro-endocrinology and the environmental and genetic control of puberty and postpartum anestrus. Courses are available through the departments of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Medical School, School of Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine through the Endocrinology and Reproductive Physiology Program.
