| Academic career | Dr. Morteza Hosseini Ghaffari graduated with B.Sc. (2004) and M.Sc. (2007) degrees in Animal Sciences from University of Kurdistan and Isfahan University of Technology, respectively. In 2013, he obtained his Ph.D. in Animal Science (Ruminant Nutrition) from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. For sabbatical leave (2011-2012), he joined the Rumen Microbiology Group at the University of Western Australia. He then spent one year to complete his postdoctoral training in Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science at University of Alberta, Canada (2016-2017). In November 2017, he joined the University of Bonn (Germany), where he is currently a research associate in the Institute for Animal Science Physiology & Hygiene Under the supervision of Prof. Helga Sauerwein. Dr. Ghaffari is investigating the impacts of early-life nutritional factors on the calf’s biological outcomes later in life and also regulation of metabolic pathways in transition cows. | |
