Dr. Janet F. Roser

Founder and Executive Manager. Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Davis in Animal Science.

B.S., Medical Technology, University of Vermont, Burlington VT, 1968. M.S., Animal Science, University of California, Davis, CA 1978. Ph.D., Physiology with an emphasis in reproductive endocrinology, University of California, Davis, CA 1982 . Post-Doc, Biochemistry, University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, 1984.

Dr. Roser created the idea for the application of these drugs and conducted research to determine their efficiency.

Upon completion of the post-doc, Dr. Roser worked in the biotech industry for 2 years after which she returned to the Davis campus as a faculty member in Animal Science studying reproductive endocrinology mainly in the stallion and mare for the next 29 years.

Dr. Roser specialized in ovarian function in the mare. With colleague Dr. Irv Boime, University of Washington Medical School, St. Louis, she determined the efficacy of recombinant equine follicle stimulating hormone (reFSH) and recombinant equine luteinizing hormone (reLH) on superovulation in the mare. A patent for reFSH was awarded to Dr. Roser and three other colleagues. Dr. Roser published over 120 scientific journal articles during her career.

Dr. Roser taught Horse Husbandry, Horse Production and Management and Equine Reproduction throughout her career at Davis. She developed the Stud and Foal Management Internships at the UC Davis Animal Science Horse Barn.

Dr. Edward L. Squires

Founder and Executive Manager. Past professor at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO and the Gluck Equine Research Center, Lexington, KY.

Dr. Edward Squires is a past Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University. He is the past supervisor of the Equine Reproduction Laboratory. Clinical duties included reproductive evaluation of mares and stallions, commercial embryo transfer, and freezing stallion semen.

Dr. Squires is considered a pioneer in equine reproductive techniques and the non-surgical collection and transfer of equine embryos. As the previous director of the Preservation of Equine Genetics Program at Colorado State University, Squires made significant contributions in foal birth from frozen embryo transfers and sex-sorted sperm.

Dr. Squires also has contributed to research in hormonal regulation of the estrous cycle, progesterone in pregnant mares, ultrasonography, and the development of assisted reproductive techniques, including oocyte maturation, superovulation, embryo freezing, and fertility of cooled and frozen semen. During his 33 years in the animal reproduction and biotechnology lab at Colorado State University, his focus on horses led to milestones in research in artificial insemination, equine reproductive physiology and endocrinology, preservation of stallion semen and techniques for embryo transfer, preservation and manipulation.

Dr. Pablo J. Ross

Founder. Associate professor, University of California, Davis in Animal Science.

D.V.M., Veterinary Medicine, La Plata National University (Argentina), 1999 M.S., Animal Science, Mar del Plata National University (Argentina), 2002. Ph.D., Animal Science, Michigan State University, 2007.

Dr. Ross is redeveloping the clones. His research interests are related to understanding epigenetic remodeling in preimplantation embryos and developing embryo technologies for use in agriculture and biomedicine. His specific research interests are

  • Reproductive biology with emphasis on gamete and embryo development.
  • Epigenetic remodeling during embryonic development, somatic cell nuclear transfer, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotency.
  • Development and application of assisted reproductive techniques in livestock species.
