It is with great sadness that we share that Eric Palmer has passed away. Eric Palmer was a pioneer in OPU and IVF in horses, and, with him. we lose a widely known scientist in horse ART.

 

Our thoughts are with Pascale Chavatte-Palmer, their children and grand-children.

 

If you wish, you may contribute to a fundraising campaign that will support the Eric Palmer Prize, for a young scientist working in equine reproduction. Please contact: [email protected]

Are you passionate about reproductive biology and biotechnological innovation? Join a dynamic research group in an exciting new PhD project at the University of Sassari, located in the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy.

 

Research Project Title:

Key Determinants of Oocyte Competence in Sheep: Morphostructural, Molecular, and Functional Analyses for the Optimization of Reproductive Performance

This project aims to identify and characterize new structural and molecular determinants associated with oocyte competence in sheep. Through an integrated approach based on advanced imaging techniques, gene regulation analysis, and functional assessments of both the oocyte and the preimplantation embryo, the goal is to identify predictive biomarkers of oocyte competence. The results will contribute to the improvement of

reproductive biotechnologies in livestock and may also offer valuable insights for applications in human reproductive medicine.

 

Supervisor: Prof. Sara Succu; Co-supervisor: Prof. Daniela Bebbere 

 

Call and application: link 

Deadline: September 1, 2025

Eligibility: The call is open to applicants under the age of 35

BullNet is a Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network focused on understanding and improving bull fertility. It will hire and train 14 PhD students (Doctoral Candidates) in a diverse range of disciplines while addressing key industry relevant research questions. It comprises a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial research programme designed to unravel the complex underlying biology of compromised fertility of individual bulls. Cutting-edge basic, applied and machine-learning approaches will be used to understand the biological regulation of sperm function and testis biology in order to optimise fertility.
