Mohammad Ibrahim, BVSC, MS, PhD, DACT

Associate Professor, Theriogenology

Dr. Mohammad (Mo.) Ibrahim is an Associate Professor of Theriogenology with a distinguished academic and professional background. He earned his Veterinary Medicine degree with honors in 2008 from Alexandria University, Egypt. Driven by his passion for animal reproduction, Dr. Ibrahim pursued a Master’s degree at the same institution, with a thesis titled “Effect of Egg Yolk Source on Cooling of Buck Semen,” laying the groundwork for advancements in semen preservation techniques.

In 2012, Dr. Ibrahim was awarded a prestigious scholarship to pursue his PhD at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. His doctoral research, “Studies of the Development of Endometritis on a Cellular Basis in Dairy Cattle,” provided groundbreaking insights into the molecular mechanisms of postpartum endometritis, paving the way for improved prevention and treatment strategies.

After earning his PhD, Dr. Ibrahim completed a competitive residency in Comparative Theriogenology at the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine, refining his clinical expertise in reproductive medicine across multiple species. In 2019, he achieved diplomate status with the American College of Theriogenologists (DACT).

Dr. Ibrahim has served as a lecturer in Comparative Theriogenology at Alexandria University, where he introduced innovative teaching methods for senior veterinary students. Before joining Long Island University (LIU) College of Veterinary Medicine, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Freie Universität Berlin, contributing to the development of probiotic-based solutions to enhance dairy cow fertility and creating practical, field-ready products for veterinarians and dairy farmers.

Renowned for his commitment to education, Dr. Ibrahim employs diverse teaching approaches, including lectures, problem-based learning, wet labs, and clinical training, to inspire and mentor the next generation of veterinarians and scientists.

Dr. Ibrahim remains dedicated to advancing veterinary medicine, fostering innovation, and inspiring future professionals to excel in the field of theriogenology.
