Ralf Pöhland

Dr. rer. nat. Ralf Pöhland is a Researcher at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf, Germany. He is affiliated with the Working Group Cell Physiology & Reproduction and Servicegroup Cytometry, focusing on bovine reproductive biology and cellular stress responses.

Research Interests: His work spans

• Reproductive Biology
• Animal Physiology
• Embryology
• Toxicology
• Molecular Biology

with a particular emphasis on thermal stress effects on oocyte maturation, in vitro embryo production, and molecular mechanisms of cellular interaction in farm animals.

Publication Trends: Over two decades, his research has consistently addressed environmental stressors (thermal, mycotoxins) impacting reproductive outcomes in cattle and pigs, alongside epigenetic and metabolic factors in embryo development. Key topics include heat shock proteins, histone modifications, and toxin-induced endocrine disruption.
