Title of the Talk/Lab :
Dr. Thirumala Rao Talluri completed his graduation and post-graduation from the College of Veterinary Sciences, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh and later he accomplished his PhD at University of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover, Germany.
Dr. Talluri was bestowed with ICAR-International fellowship for PhD and ICAR-Post doctoral fellowship for his project proposed on finding markers for bull fertility using transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. Also recognized with cash prize award by the Polish Society for Reproductive Biology at Poland. Dr. Thirumala Rao Talluri has actively contributed towards reproductive biotechnology in recent areas of assessment of bull fertility, finding markers for stallion fertility, generation of embryonic and adult stem cells and induced Pluripotent stem cells (iPS) in cattle and semen biology in equines, which are important niche areas of research for progressive countries like India. He applied system biology approach to decipher the contrasting motility in stallion spermatozoa.
He applied mutli-omic analysis approach for deciphering the markers for bull fertility. His recent works include production of induced Pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) in Mice, Pigs and in Cattle using non-viral approaches. He expertised the embryo micromanipulation technique through which he was involved in production of transgenic mice, pigs and cattle using non-viral approaches and cytoplasmic injection technique. His team also successfully produced double and triple transgenic mice and cattle by integrating the CRISPR and Transposon tools. He and his colleagues involved in standardizing the embryo transfer technique and semen collection and cryopreservation in equines. He along with his team produced live foals using frozen semen from Zanskari and Manipuri ponies for the first time. Currently, he is involved in interspecies cloning and embryo cryopreservation in horses and identification of fertility markers in stallions. Recently he was awarded with Prof. S. S. Guraya Young Scientist Award and also honored with NAVS associate award. He is also working as a reviewer for RDA, Veterinary Medicine and Science and acting as an editorial board member of International Journal of Equine Science, Journal of Animal Research.
He published more than 100 international and national articles in various peer reviewed journals and guided 3 PhD and 8 MVSc students. Currently he is working as a Senior Scientist at ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines, Bikaner, Rajasthan.
