About
Professional Summary
Dr. Anthony Archibong received a Ph.D. from Oregon State University, in the area of Reproductive Endocrinology and conducted Post-Doctoral Research in the Department of Animal Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, in Embryo Physiology. He subsequently conducted another Postdoctoral Research at the Oregon National Primate Research Center, in Gamete Science. Dr. Archibong is currently an Associate Professor and Director of the Core Endocrine Laboratory in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Meharry Medical College and a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Archibong’s expertise is in Mammalian Reproductive Biology and the Molecular Mechanism(s) of Environmental influence on Reproductive function. He is particularly interested in the adverse effects of Environmental Pollutants on the Hormones that regulate male and female Gonadal function, Gamete interaction and Preimplantation Embryo development. He served on the editorial boards, of Biology of Reproduction, Archives of Andrology and Advances in Reproduction and had served as a reviewer for Journal of Animal Science. He is currently on the editorial board of Andrology Update and a reviewer for the Biology of Reproduction, Theriogenology, Fertility Sterility, Journal of Endocrinology and Asian Journal of Andrology. He has served two terms in the UDSA Animal Reproduction Study Panel. Dr. Archibong has authored 44 peer-reviewed manuscripts, a book chapter and more than 81 abstracts in the area of Reproductive Biology/Reproductive Toxicology. He has been able to maintain continuous extramural funding for his research from federal and private sources, including a minority supplement from NIH to study sperm function in fertilization events. Dr. Archibong has served as a mentored/preceptor to Ph.D. graduate students and has supervised 10 medical students in research whose data presentations have won both Institutional and National awards. He is member of Society for the Study of Reproduction, American Society of Reproductive Medicine, National Medical Association, and member of American Association of Bioanalysts.
