Overview

Herbert S. Rosenkranz was affiliated with Florida Atlantic University in the United States and contributed to research primarily within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, as well as medicine. Their work spanned several specific subfields, including genetics and public health, environmental, and occupational health.

Their research focused prominently on topics related to reproductive biology and fertility, animal genetics and reproduction, and genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock.

Among their recent publications was the paper titled "Gene expression during pre- and peri-implantation embryonic development in pigs", published in 2020 in Bioscientifica Proceedings.

  • Gene expression during pre- and peri-implantation embryonic development in pigs (2020, Bioscientifica Proceedings)

Frequent collaborators in Rosenkranz's research included:

  • P. Maddox-Hyttel
  • András Dinnyés
  • Jozef Laurinčík
  • D. Rath
  • H. Niemann

Rosenkranz's work was published predominantly in Bioscientifica Proceedings, the venue that hosted at least one of their papers.
