Bhavesh Vishnubhai Mistry

Dr. Bhavesh Vishnubhai Mistry is an Associate Scientist specializing in molecular and reproductive biology, with a focus on the genetic regulation of spermatogenesis and male infertility. He has extensive experience in functional genomics, transgenic mouse models, and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, with strong expertise in a wide range of molecular, cellular, and microbiology techniques.

His research focuses on elucidating the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying spermatogenesis and male infertility, with particular emphasis on investigating the roles of DCAF family genes and Phospholipase C zeta (Plc-Z) in male fertility using mouse models and CRISPR/Cas9 technology. This knowledge can be used to develop better reproductive management tools and therapeutic interventions for male infertility.
