John Bromfield

Dr. John Bromfield is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Florida, specializing in reproductive biology and immunology. His laboratory investigates how uterine infections, such as metritis in dairy cows, impact ovarian function, oocyte quality, and fertility. Key research areas include inflammation mechanisms in the female reproductive tract, paternal diet effects on embryo development, and heat stress impacts on placental function.

Academic Positions:

• 2021–Present: Associate Professor of Physiology, University of Florida
• 2014–2021: Assistant Professor of Physiology, University of Florida
• 2012–2014: Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Missouri-Columbia

Research focuses on molecular and cellular pathways linking infection, immunity, and infertility. Notable projects address how lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure alters granulosa cell function, paternal dietary influences on semen quality, and transcriptomic changes during bovine conceptus elongation. His work integrates genomics, immunology, and reproductive physiology to improve livestock health and reproduction.

Publications span over two decades, reflecting expertise in bovine reproductive health, innate immunity, and translational applications in agriculture. While no specific awards are listed, his extensive contributions to the field are evident through frequent peer-reviewed articles and methodological advances in endometrial cell studies.

Advising and grants: While student names are not provided, his roles indicate mentorship of graduate students in physiology and animal sciences. Research funding likely supports his experimental work on uterine disease and fertility.

Labs and teams: His laboratory in the Department of Animal Sciences collaborates on projects involving state-of-the-art technologies to study molecular mechanisms in bovine reproduction.
