Gabriella Mastromonaco

Gabriela Mastromonaco has spent more than 25 years working with assisted reproductive technologies in livestock and wildlife species. Her interest in comparative reproductive biology inspired her to complete a PhD at the University of Guelph in the department of Biomedical Sciences. As Manager of Reproductive Sciences at the Toronto Zoo, she has implemented research projects to investigate fundamental questions on the reproductive biology of non-domestic species with the goal of integrating results into conservation management programs. With the recent additional role of Director of Conservation Science, she hopes to build multi-disciplinary collaborations to support species recovery strategies ex situ and in situ. Gabriela currently maintains adjunct professor positions at four Canadian universities as part of her commitment to the training of future scientists and conservationists, and a research program that involves the full spectrum of reproductive technologies.
