My field of research is reproductive biology with a specific focus on male fertility, sperm function, and fertilization. Besides reproductive medicine, this work profoundly affects policy making, informing major decisions concerning human reproductive health, contraception, and individuals’ reproductive rights. I have been advancing our understanding of how the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), the universal protein recycling machinery, regulates the process of sperm capacitation necessary for sperm ability to fertilize eggs in humans and animals. I described the UPS-regulated, capacitation-induced re-modeling of the sperm proteome. I identified new UPS-regulated sperm proteins and developed a new protocol for selective, compartment-specific isolation of proteins…
