University of Wyoming
  

The University of Wyoming offers an innovative program of graduate studies in vertebrate reproductive biology.  The opportunity to study in this area is made available through cooperative efforts of several departments: 

Animal Science

Molecular Biology

School of Pharmacy

Psychology

Veterinary Sciences

 Zoology/Physiology

Programs are offered leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.  Qualified students will be eligible for a graduate assistantship.  Post-doctoral positions provide advanced training in research and teaching.

 


Both the research and teaching aspects of the program reflect a truly interdisciplinary approach.  Research activities range from directly applied to fundamental.  Animals used for investigation include domestic farm, laboratory and wild/endangered species.

Large Animal Surgery

 

An Ovine Embryo

Modern laboratories are designed for hormonal, chemical, biochemical and molecular analysis of biological samples.  Excellent facilities exist supporting light, epifluorescent, electron, and confocal microscopy in addition to tissue and cell culture and small animal experimentation.  Well-equipped large animal handling and surgical facilities are located a short distance from campus.


 

This program is experiencing a period of strong growth, as reflected in the broad range of research interests linked through faculty members who lead this program with established records of accomplishment. 

 

Research in Reproductive Biology has been funded through:

The National Institutes of Health

The National Science Foundation

The United States Department of Agriculture

The American Cancer Society
