Last week Víctor Gallego defended his Doctoral Thesis, entitled “Sperm physiology and quality in two marine teleosts: Anguilla anguilla & Takifugu niphobles”, on different aspects related to eel and pufferfish sperm and supervised by Dr. Juan F. Asturiano, in the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain.

The court was formed by Dr. Olvido Chereguini (President), from the Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Dr. Elsa Cabrita (secretary), from the University of Algarve (Portugal), and Dr. Alicia Felip from the Instituto de Acuicultura de Torre de la Sal (CSIC).  He obtained the highest mark.

Víctor has enjoyed an FPI grant from the Spanish MICINN and a previous grant from the UPV.

The final document is a compendium of 5 previously published articles (in Aquaculture and Theriogenology), with an introduction and general discussion, and its pdf can be downloaded here: PhD Thesis (Victor Gallego).

Congratulations, Dr. Gallego!
