Dr Dawit Tesfaye is a Professor of Reproductive Biology in the Department of Biomedical Sceinces at Colorado State University. Dr. Tesfaye received his BSc in Animal Sciences from Haramaya University, Ethiopia, and his MSc and Ph.D. in Animal Science from the University of Bonn, Germany. He took a position of post-doctoral fellow at the same university in Animal Reproduction. Later in 2010 became a faculty member at the University of Bonn until he moved to the Colorado State University in 2019. Dr. Tesfaye’s research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating early embryo development and survival under various environmental and physiological conditions. Especially Dr. Tesfaye is interested in the investigation of the NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response in bovine preimplantation embryos. Moreover, Dr. Tesfaye’s lab at CSU is investigating the role of extracellular vesicle mediated molecular signaling in oocyte/embryo-maternal communication. More recently, his lab at CSU is elucidating the potential of 3D organoid technology to understand the physiology of bovine oviduct and generate physiologically relevant oviductal factors to improve the outcome of ART in animal agriculture. Throughout his career Dr. Tesfaye has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles and deliver several talks in national and international conferences.
