Biography

Prof. Dr. Amjad Riaz is currently working as Professor in the Department of Theriogenology, University of Veterinary and animal sciences (UVAS), Lahore, Pakistan. He earned his DVM and Masters in Theriogenology degrees from College of Veterinary Sciences Lahore. After his masters he was appointed as lecturer on contract in the same department. He also served as Scientific Officer at Animal Reproduction Laboratory, NARC Islamabad and worked on ovarian dynamics in buffalo. He won scholarship for PhD studies and completed his doctoral studies from Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. During his PhD studies he worked on animal cloning and embryonic stem cell derivation for therapeutic cloning/regenerative medicine. The quality of this research work was evident by publishing the work in “Cell Research”, a well reputed scientific journal published by Nature Publishing Group. He is now working as Assistant Professor in department of Theriogenology. His areas of interest is Reproductive Biotechnologies. He has presented his research work and expertise in 8 national/international conferences. He is given a Young Scientist Award for his research presented in 17th international congress on Animal Reproduction held in Vancouver, Canada. In addition to his research contribution in field of Animal Reproduction Dr. Riaz is also a practicing veterinarian and is responsible for clinical handlings at University Theriogenology and Outdoor clinics. He is also providing private farm consultation services through university clinical platform.

Areas of Interest:

  • Development of Embryo Transfer technique in domestic animals
  • Improving the post thaw quality of buffalo bull semen
  • Establish the successful AI in domestic poultry
  • In vitro production of buffalo embryos
  • Establish the advance reproductive biotechnologies in local circumstances
