Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Blastocyst, Andrology, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Embryo. His Blastocyst research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Oviduct, Embryo culture, Zygote, In vivo and Human fertilization. His studies deal with areas such as Genetics, Embryo transfer, Embryo quality, Gynecology and Cryopreservation as well as Andrology.

His study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pregnancy and Animal science. His study looks at the intersection of Internal medicine and topics like Reproduction with Physiology. His research in Follicle intersects with topics in Follicular fluid and Ovarian follicle.

His most cited work include:

  • Consequences of bovine oocyte maturation, fertilization or early embryo development in vitro versus in vivo: implications for blastocyst yield and blastocyst quality. (663 citations)
  • Pattern of growth of dominant follicles during the oestrous cycle of heifers. (496 citations)
  • Bovine Embryo Culture in the Presence or Absence of Serum: Implications for Blastocyst Development, Cryotolerance, and Messenger RNA Expression (450 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Maurice P. Boland spends much of his time researching Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Andrology, Animal science and Estrous cycle. In Endocrinology, he works on issues like Follicular fluid, which are connected to Estrogen. His Andrology research integrates issues from Cryopreservation, Embryo and Blastocyst.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene expression and In vivo in addition to Embryo. His Blastocyst study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oviduct, Embryo culture, Zygote, Oocyte and Human fertilization. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pregnancy, Fertility, Seasonal breeder and Ice calving.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (35.81%)
  • Internal medicine (35.81%)
  • Andrology (33.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2017)?

  • Blastocyst (20.93%)
  • Andrology (33.95%)
  • Embryo (25.58%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Blastocyst, Andrology, Embryo, Human fertilization and Animal science. His Blastocyst research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oocyte, In vitro maturation and Oviduct. The concepts of his Andrology study are interwoven with issues in In vitro fertilisation and Zygote.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology and Gene expression. His work deals with themes such as Ovulation, Pregnancy, Fertility, Endocrinology and Internal medicine, which intersect with Animal science. His work in Follicle and Estrous cycle is related to Internal medicine.

Between 2002 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Bovine Embryo Culture in the Presence or Absence of Serum: Implications for Blastocyst Development, Cryotolerance, and Messenger RNA Expression (450 citations)
  • Oocyte and embryo quality: effect of origin, culture conditions and gene expression patterns. (260 citations)
  • Temporal Divergence in the Pattern of Messenger RNA Expression in Bovine Embryos Cultured from the Zygote to Blastocyst Stage In Vitro or In Vivo (258 citations)
