Biography

Hamid Habibi is a professor and a member of the Libin Cardiovascular Institute at the University of Calgary. He specializes in biological sciences, focusing on the endocrine control of reproduction and growth. Professor Habibi's research emphasizes the regulatory systems that control pituitary gonadotropin, growth hormone gene expression, and hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pathways, alongside gonadal steroids. His work has provided novel insights into the functional diversity of GnRH across various fish species and their mammalian counterparts, enabling advancements in relevant technologies for the pharmaceutical and agri-food industries. His projects include the development of new GnRH agonists with enhanced ovulatory and antitumor properties as well as methods to increase the growth rate of cultured fish species using transgenic canola seeds that express fish growth hormone. Professor Habibi has garnered multiple awards for his contributions to science, including the Faculty of Science Award of Excellence and recognition from UNESCO for his commitment to sustainable development.
