Description of research activity:
Miguel A. Silvestre Camps has participated in and developed as the researcher responsible for different lines of research in the field of reproductive biotechnology in both its most basic aspects (oocyte activation or sperm morphometry) and technological aspects (artificial insemination, cryopreservation) and in both the female (oocyte maturation) and the male (conservation of spermatozoa). Proof of this is his participation in 42 JCR publications (most of which are in the top quartile of their category), of which in 25 (60%) he is first or last author. To date he has supervised 5 doctoral theses, 3 of which have been in the last 10 years. IP1 has supervised a total of 7 Master's Final Projects and 19 Undergraduate Degree Final Projects. To date, he has participated with EDP in 6 research projects (5 national and 1 regional), participating in 3 of them as Lead Researcher. Carles Soler i Vázquez has worked on various lines of research related to animal and human reproduction, in close contact with other research groups from different countries. During more than 35 years of scientific activity, CS has initiated new lines of research, some of which are still in full development....Miguel A.

Carles Soler i Vázquez has worked on various lines of research related to animal and human reproduction, in close contact with other research groups from different countries. During more than 35 years of scientific activity, CS has initiated new lines of research, some of which are still in full development. These include the development of computerised sperm analysis systems (CASA), several of which are commercially exploited. Carles Soler, together with his work group, has been a pioneer in the design and improvement of CASA systems worldwide, moving from conceptualisation to the commercialisation of a finished, functional and continuously evolving product. All this in close and continuous collaboration with industry. As a result of these, it has 1 patent in operation and the scientific production has been high, highlighting the number and quality of the works published: 105 articles in SCI journals (most of which are in the top quartile of their category), in addition to numerous communications at national and international congresses, articles in national journals, etc.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Estudiar la evolucion de diferentes parametros espermaticos relacionados con el metabolismo energetico en diferentes condiciones fisiologicas
  • Optimizar el analisis de los parametros espermaticos
  • Optimizar las tecnicas de conservacion del semen
 
Research lines:
  • Study of the energy metabolism of sperm and its relationship to fertility in mammals.The general objective of this project is to study the evolution of different sperm parameters related to energy metabolism, under different physiological conditions, in order to optimise the production of seminal doses, as well as their predictive capacity for fertility.
  • Optimization of semen conservation techniques.Optimisation of semen preservation techniques.
