 | Adams, Gregg |
Dr. Adams teaches Veterinary Anatomy in the veterinary curriculum and participates in team-taught graduate courses on Advanced Physiology and Endocrinology of Reproduction in Mammals, Advanced Bovine Reproduction, Bovine Reproductive Ultrasonography & Embryo Transfer, and Research Techniques in Endocrinology & Reproduction. He is a team member of the course Biomedical Rounds that was awarded the Provost's Prize for Innovative Practice of Teaching and Learning, University of Saskatchewan (2008). Dr. Adams also consults on Theriogenology cases admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Other Appointments
Dr. Adams has broad interests in basic and applied aspects of reproductive science and medicine, and is recognized internationally for his work on ovarian function. He has published classic studies of ovarian follicle development, ovulation and fertility in several species including cattle, camelids, cervids and humans. Results of studies on ovarian function in women by Dr. Adams and co-workers at the University of Saskatchewan was cited as one of the top 100 scientific discoveries of the year by Discover Magazine. Technical applications resulting from his work include ovarian synchronization and superstimulation, oocyte collection, in vitro embryo production and transfer in cattle and camelids, 2- and 3-dimensional ultrasonography, and computer-assisted image analysis. His current research focuses on ovulation-inducing factors in seminal plasma, factors influencing oocyte competence in cattle, and synchrotron-based biomedical imaging.
