معرفی
Dr. J. (Jan) Bogerd is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, Utrecht University, where he has been a key member of the Reproductive Biology Group since 1993. His research is centered in the field of Developmental Biology, with strong affiliations to the Biodynamics and Biocomplexity research area and the PtS – Future Food Utrecht initiative.
His primary research interests include Endocrinology, Spermatogenesis, Testicular Stem Cells, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry of G Protein-Coupled Receptors, and the Relaxin Peptide Family and their Receptors. His work primarily uses zebrafish and other fish models to investigate the molecular and hormonal regulation of reproductive processes, particularly spermatogenesis and puberty.
His extensive publication record, with over 145 research outputs, demonstrates a sustained focus on gonadotropin signaling, steroidogenesis, and the interplay between endocrine and paracrine factors in testicular function. Recent articles highlight ongoing work on Fsh, Igf, Wnt, and prostaglandin signaling in zebrafish spermatogenesis, as well as studies on puberty and gene expression in Atlantic salmon. His research often involves collaboration with prominent scientists like R. W. Schulz.
- PhD: Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam (1988–1992); Thesis: 'Alternative splicing generates neuropeptide diversity in Lymnaea stagnalis'
- Post-doctoral Fellow: Utrecht University (1992–1993)
