Carlos-Camilo Silva

Carlos-Camilo Silva is a professor in the Biology Department of the Faculty of Higher Studies Zaragoza, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in México City. He received his B. Sc. In Biology in 2013 and then moved on to study a M. Sc. In Experimental Biology and a Ph. D. in Neurobiology and Neuroscience.

During his studies he developed a great interest in the central mechanisms that allow the coordination of reproduction with the environment in which the animal lives. In particular, he has studied the role of the circadian system in the regulation of ovulation in female mammals. For this, he has analized the effects of the disruption of the suprachiasmatic nucleus by surgical and pharmacological rechniques on the secretion of hypothalamic neuropeptides, gonadotropins and steroid hormones, as well as on the development of ovarian follicles and the release of oocytes into the oviduct.

He is now co-head of the Chronobiology of Reproduction Research Lab at UNAM, where he is interested in the aplication of a wide variety of techniques, ranging from molecular biology to behavioral analysis, to continue with the investigation of the circadian regulation of reproduction. When he is not in the lab, he enjoys teaching Animal Anatomy and Physiology for Biology majors.
