Mary Buhr is a Professor Emerita in Animal Poultry Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research encompasses sperm physiology and its relationship to fertility and artificial insemination. She examines membrane molecules and their functions related to fertilization, as well as the molecular structures and functions that impact processing, which aim to minimize and prevent damage. Her work primarily focuses on bull and boar sperm, but she has also conducted research involving sperm from elephants, horses, roosters, mice, elk, humans, honeybees, and frogs. Additionally, she has delved into aspects of environmental toxicology, endocrinology, and the preservation of endangered species. A major focus of her research is to enhance fertility in sperm used for artificial insemination, addressing both practical applications within the industry, such as proper semen collection procedures and laboratory protocols, and fundamental research in membrane biochemistry and proteomics.
