Dr. Ratan K. Choudhary is an Assistant Professor at the College of Animal Biotechnology, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. He holds a master's degree in veterinary sciences and a doctoral degree in animal science with a specialization in bovine mammary stem cells and their characterization. His research chiefly focuses on the development of stem cell therapy for the dry period and mastitis in dairy animals. He worked at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for six years (2007-2012), followed by two post-doctoral trainings at the University of Kentucky (2012-2013) and University of Vermont (2018-2020), USA. He received many awards and fellowships during his Ph.D. including the Dean's Fellowship, R. F. Davis Scholarship and Jacob K. Goldhaber Travel Award, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, USDA poster awards, first prize winner of the National Milk Producers Federation, Graduate Student Paper Presentation Award in Dairy Production, and Novus International Inc. Travel Award. He is currently serving as a reviewer of the international journal,s including Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia, Scientific Reports, World Journal Stem Cells, Journal of Dairy Research, PLOS One, and Stem Cells Reviews and Report. He has published more than 40 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals, attended/presented research papers at more than 30 conferences, and authored one book. He is a member of various international scientific societies and organizations, e.g., the American Dairy Science Association, the European Association for Animal Production (EAAP), the Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction & Fertility, and the Veterinary Council of India.
