Prof. Mariusz P. Kowalewski, PhD
Obtained his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland, in 2002. From 2002 to 2006, he pursued his PhD in reproductive biology at the joint graduate program of the Faculties of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Justus-Liebig-University (JLU) in Giessen, Germany. Afterwards, 2006-2007 he completed postdoctoral training at the Institute of Veterinary Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology at JLU, and at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC), School of Medicine, Department of Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Lubbock, Texas, USA, between 2007 and 2009. Since 2009, he has held the position of Principal Investigator, leading his own research group at the Institute of Veterinary Anatomy (IVA) within the Vetsuisse Faculty at the University of Zurich (VSF, UZH) in Zurich, Switzerland. In 2012, he received Venia legendi (Habilitation) in the fields of Veterinary Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology from UZH, and in 2014, he became a Professor of Functional Microanatomy at VSF, UZH.
Currently, he serves as a Professor of Veterinary Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology, and from 2019 serves as a Head of the Institute, and leads the Group of Reproductive Endocrinology at VSF, UZH. He is involved in teaching courses on veterinary gross anatomy, histology, embryology, developmental and reproductive biology.
His research interests encompass comparative reproductive biology and endocrinology of domestic animals, endocrine regulation of canine luteal and placental function, concepto-maternal communication in accompanying animals, and mechanisms of STAR-dependent and hypoxia-mediated steroidogenesis.
