Biography

Rubens Paes de Arruda graduated from the Federal University of Viçosa in 1984. He worked as a researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) from 1985 to 1987 and also as a scientific researcher at the Animal Science Institute. Then, from 1987, he engaged in the academic career at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of the University of São Paulo - FMVZ / USP. He completed the MSc in Veterinary Medicine in Animal Reproduction Area in 1988 and Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the Experimental Pathology area and Comparative in 1995, both from the University of  São Paulo (USP). During the years of 1998 and 1999 he held the Postdoctoral Fellow in Bio techniques of Animal Reproduction at the University of California, Davis, USA. In 2000, he became Associate Professor at USP. Since 2010 is Professor in the Department of Animal Reproduction FMVZ / USP. His research encompasses the physiological and endocrinological aspects and pathological male, sperm and embryo cryopreservation techniques, evaluation techniques in vitro fertility of semen, assisted reproduction techniques in horses and biotechnologies applied to andrology (Computerized motility analysis - HOME, epifluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and sperm sexing). In addition, the morpho-functional aspects of sperm involved with fertility in the female.
