Dr Andres Gambini

Researcher biography
I am a reproductive biologist specialising in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), with a focus on IVF, ICSI, cloning, and embryo technologies for animal production and wildlife conservation. My work aims to improve our understanding of reproductive biology and develop innovative reproductive biotechnologies across livestock, equine, and wildlife species, with strong links to industry and international collaborators.
My work has delivered key advances in the field, including:
- First cloned horses in South America (2010) and Australia (2018)
- Development of efficient OPU–ICSI systems in horses
- First in vitro-produced kangaroo embryos (2025)
- Embryo production across species, including donkeys and mules (2022)
- First cloned zebra embryos worldwide (2020)
With international research experience in South America, the USA and Europe, my current work focuses on optimising cloning IVF and ICSI systems, identifying biomarkers of gamete and embryo quality and developing biobanking strategies for threatened species biology.
I welcome opportunities for HDR supervision, research collaboration, and industry partnerships in animal reproduction and conservation technologies.
