The orchestration of gene expression during the formation of gametes and embryos has been a source of wonder for Nelida Rodriguez-Osorio. She became interested in animal reproduction, gametogenesis and embryogenesis as a veterinary student and has focused on differential gene expression during early embryo development and the particular genes that confer developmental potential to eggs and sperm. Currently, Nelida is an associate professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Antioquia in Colombia. Her research interests include using functional genomics to improve oocyte maturation and early embryo development in domestic animals.
