| 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.
