​Dr. Mohamed Ayoub Abedal-Majed is a Jordanian academic and researcher specializing in Reproductive Physiology and Biotechnology. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Production at the University of Jordan.

As of late 2025, he also holds administrative leadership as the Vice Dean for Student Affairs at the University of Jordan.
Academic Background

• PhD in Animal Science (Reproductive Physiology/Biotechnology): University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA (2017). His doctoral research focused on the causes and consequences of androgen excess on oocyte quality.
• MSc in Animal Science: University of Jordan (2011), where he achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA.
• BSc in Animal Science: University of Jordan (2007), graduating first in his class.

Research and Expertise
Dr. Abedal-Majed's research is highly regarded for its bridge between animal science and human medicine, particularly in using livestock as models for human reproductive disorders. His primary areas of interest include:

• Ovarian Folliculogenesis: Studying how nutrition, hormones (like VEGFA), and environmental factors affect follicle development and ovulation.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Using "High A4" (androgen excess) cows as a model to understand infertility in women.
• Environmental Stress: Investigating the impact of heat stress on the physiological responses and gut health of poultry and ruminants.
• Livestock Management: Researching the effects of dietary supplements (such as rumen-protected methionine and betaine) on the performance of dairy cows and sheep.

Selected Publications & Impact
He is a prolific author with numerous citations in international journals. Some of his notable work includes:

• "Livestock animals to study infertility in women" (Published in Animal Frontiers).
• "Naturally occurring androgen excess cows are present in dairy and beef herds" (Published in Journal of Animal Science).
• "Effect of supplemental rumen-protected methionine on reproduction and production of Awassi ewes" (Co-authored with Dr. Hosam Titi).

Professional Roles

• Vice Dean for Student Affairs: University of Jordan (2023–Present).
• Associate Professor: Department of Animal Production, University of Jordan.
• Member of Research Groups: Specifically focused on "Navigating Environmental Challenges in Farm Animals."​
