　　The mission of the Physiology of Reproduction Program is three-fold: research the fundamental elements of reproductive biology necessary for development of systems to enhance the efficiency of animal reproduction and productivity, teach the latest principles and strategies/practices of reproductive biology to undergraduate and graduate students and through established extension programs, translate the acquired knowledge into reproductive systems to benefit producers and consumers. The research effort is strong because of the number of nationally recognized scientists who have diverse areas of expertise. Their interests vary from molecular biology to the application of the technologies in a production setting. The program is strengthened by numerous collaborative relationships between the scientists. These relationships are fostered by the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Reproductive Biology composed of over 45 faculty members from 10 departments located in 4 colleges at Texas A&M University, and across four campuses and three off-campus centers of the Texas A&M University system. In addition to reproduction, important areas of animal biology such as growth and animal response to environmental factors (stress) are investigated. Genomic involvement in all the above areas receives high consideration Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
