Our guest speaker this year is Dr. Marcelo H. Ratto. Dr. Ratto received
his Veterinary degree from the Universidad de La Plata, Argentina in
1986 and was appointed to a faculty position at the same university. He
obtained a scholarship in Reproductive Biology at the Universidad
Austral de Chile where he received his Master´s degree and later on he

Dr. Ratto teaches Reproductive Physiology and Biotechnology. He has
broad interests in basic and applied aspects of reproductive science and
medicine. Technical applications resulting from his work include ovarian
synchronization and superstimulation, oocyte collection, in vitro embryo
production and transfer in cattle and camelids, ultrasonography, and
computer-assisted image analysis. His current research focuses on
ovulation-inducing factors in seminal plasma, factors influencing oocyte
competence in cattle and South American Camelids. Dr. Ratto is a recent
recipient of the Scopus award from Elsevier´s Editorial for
