Dr. Christopher Price

Biography

Christopher Price is a recognized Professor at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Université de Montréal. His research focuses on understanding the endocrine and paracrine factors that control ovarian follicle development and fertility in cattle. He primarily employs in-vitro approaches using ruminant granulosa and theca cell cultures to investigate the mechanisms of action of hormones and growth factors that affect cell health and function. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nottingham and a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. After completing his doctoral studies, he conducted post-doctoral research at the Wallaceville Animal Research Centre in New Zealand. Christopher has supervised numerous graduate students in various research projects, addressing topics like the physiological roles of different cellular signaling pathways and the effects of environmental factors on reproductive health in livestock. He has led multiple research initiatives funded by national research councils, exploring novel mechanisms of ovarian function and the impact of toxic substances on fertility. His work contributes significantly to the advancement of veterinary sciences and reproductive biology in cattle.
