Matthew Lucy

Matthew Lucy is a Professor in the Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri's College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. His research focuses on reproductive physiology in high-producing dairy cows, particularly examining uterine disease impacts on fertility and early embryonic development. Current studies investigate transcriptomic mechanisms of uterine disease and applied field trials for fertility improvement.

Research specialties include animal health production, reproductive biology, and translational methods to address dairy industry challenges. His work bridges basic science (e.g., transcriptomics) with practical solutions for improving dairy cow fertility.

Recent articles emphasize uterine microbiome dynamics, gene-edited livestock models, and antibiotic efficacy in uterine disease treatment. He is actively accepting graduate advisees.
