Topic; Rooster fertility: diagnosis and conservation

Anaïs Vitorino Carvalho obtained her PhD in 2013 investigating the regulation of various endometrial factors (transcription factors, protein regulators and receptors) during bovine implantation. As a first postdoctoral fellow, she decided to explore the impact of microenvironment on the early embryonic development in cattle, especially on the transcriptome. In 2017, she moved to bird physiology, with a second postdoctoral fellowship focusing on the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the long-term impact and transgenerational inheritance of embryonic environment perturbations in quails. In 2019, she was recruited by INRAE to better understand and decipher the mechanisms of avian sperm fertilizing capacity.
