Valeria M Tanco obtained her veterinary degree with honors from the Catholic
University in Cordoba Argentina in 2006. She completed her Masters of Science degree at
University of Saskatchewan in Canada under the supervision of Dr Gregg Adams in the field
of biomedical sciences. Her work was focused on the characterization of an ovulation
inducing factor found in the seminal plasma of domestic animals. During that time she
obtained several scholarships and first prizes on three different occasions for her work
in basic sciences. In 2008, Valeria moved on to Cornell University where she completed
her Large and Small animal residency in reproductive medicine by 2010. Since then,
Valeria has been working at the University of Tennessee as a Clinical Assistant Professor
in Small Animal Reproductive Medicine and completing her PhD research on Stem cell
biology and their potential clinical application. Dr Tanco has been in the reproductive
field since early on in veterinary school and has a special interest in furthering
knowledge in small animal theriogenology, teaching future veterinarians and training
residents in clinical reproduction.
