Andrés graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the National University of Río Cuarto (Argentina) in 2008 and completed his PhD in Animal Reproduction at the University of Buenos Aires in 2013. During his doctoral studies, he produced the first cloned horses in South America and contributed to the birth of the first OPU-ICSI foal in Argentina. His postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS, USA) strengthened his expertise in embryology and molecular biology by elucidating mechanisms involved in the oocyte-to-embryo transition. After a short time in Australia, he contributed to the production of the first cloned horse (2018) in the country through a collaboration with the University of Melbourne. Andrés has developed extensive expertise in oocyte biology, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo culture, and cryopreservation across horses, cattle, and wildlife. His research combines fundamental and applied approaches to improve oocyte quality and embryo production, linking academic science with practical outcomes for the equine breeding industry and conservation programs. He is currently a researcher at The University of Queensland, where he leads the Animal Fertility Laboratory, directs a horse ICSI program, and supervises postgraduate students working on equine, bovine, and wildlife reproductive technologies. He has authored numerous scientific publications, presented his work at international conferences, and is actively engaged in teaching equine reproduction and mentoring the next generation of animal scientists.
