Agrita Puzuka

Agrita Puzuka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology and Microbiology at Riga Stradins University. Her research focuses on genome instability, genetic disorders, and reproductive biology, particularly in male infertility. She contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, especially in advancing biological sciences (SDG 3 and 1.6).

Her work involves projects like investigating genome instability in male infertility and developing genetic diagnostic tools. Collaborations include studies on exome sequencing and azoospermia mechanisms. She has co-authored datasets on male infertility diagnostics and presented findings at international conferences. She serves as an expert in RSU grants and peer-reviewed journals like Scientific Reports.

Key research areas include exome sequencing applications in idiopathic azoospermia, lifestyle impacts on male fertility parameters, and genetic counseling for non-obstructive azoospermia. Her projects are funded by institutions such as the Latvian Council of Science and Riga Stradins University.
