Matthias Ehrlich has studied biology with focus on molecular biology and physiology. He got his master’s degree at the University of Potsdam after completing his thesis in the field of plant cell wall biosynthesis at the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology. In addition, he got a graduation as a biological technical assistant. Before he came to Norway, he worked as a scientific fellow at the biological department of LMU Munich focused on enzyme activity and redox regulation in fatty acid biosynthesis. Within these years he got to know different molecular biologic and protein biochemical methods. During the last years, Matthias acquired practical skills at Norwegian dairy farms and since 2018 he is working in production at both Geno and SpermVital.

Fride Berg Standerholen has a Ph.D in Reproductive Biology and an M.Sc in Applied and Commercial Biotechnology from Hedmark University College, with specialization in experimental biotechnology and a bachelor degree in Biotechnology from the University of Life Sciences at ÅS. The main goal of the PhD thesis was to gain more knowledge of flow cytometric assessment of semen and procedures for sperm quality assessment. Sperm functionality was assessed in relation to bull semen preservation methods and fertility. One of the main findings was that there were differences in selected sperm function parameters between standard Biladyl (B) and immobilized SpermVital (SV) processed semen. Semen quality parameters, such as plasma membrane- and acrosome integrity, considered important for the actual fertilization, were not correlated with fertility data that showed similar fertility levels between B and SV semen.
