OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The first recorded instance of artificial insemination (AI), incidentally in the horse, dates back to 1322 and the intriguing story of an Arab sheikh and his rival’s superior stallion. Scientists have been working on improving AI and sperm preservation techniques ever since. Preservation of both male and female gametes can alleviate infertility, improve livestock genetics, and even save endangered species. In this seminar I will discuss some of my previous work with the horse breeding industry in Australia, using molecular strategies to solve clinical problems, and introduce our new project at NDWRH looking at preserving female fertility in the critically endangered rhinoceros.
