Dr. Mayyas Jaweesh is a highly accomplished and dedicated researcher in the field of reproductive genetics. With a diverse academic background and extensive experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his work. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, he further pursued his education in the United Kingdom, earning a Master’s degree in Reproductive Medicine and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Kent.
Throughout his career, Dr. Silvestri has made significant contributions to the field of mammalian embryology, with a particular focus on embryo production strategies in farm animals, such as cattle. His current research endeavors aim to develop innovative methods for obtaining high-quality embryos through in vitro maturation of oocytes and the application of preimplantation genetic testing. By enhancing the efficiency and precision of embryo production systems, he strives to benefit breeders by enabling the selection of desirable embryos and eliminating those affected by chromosomal disorders.
In addition to his research pursuits, Dr. Silvestri is actively involved in teaching and mentoring students. As an associate fellow of the Higher Education Academy, he has supervised students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He plays a crucial role in delivering the BI842 module “The IVF World” as part of the MSc Reproductive Medicine: Science and Ethics program at the University of Kent. This module covers various aspects of in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques, including oocyte retrieval, andrology, and micromanipulation.
Dr. Silvestri’s dedication to his field extends beyond academia. He has established strong connections with companies in the UK, Europe, and North America, fostering collaborative efforts to advance reproductive technologies. His practical approach to research and emphasis on applied outcomes make him a valuable asset in bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and real-world applications.
