Biography

Dr. Panner-Selvam is a Research Instructor in the Department of Urology, Tulane University School of Medicine. He received his PhD in Animal Biotechnology from the Madras Veterinary College in Chennai, India and completed his Postdoctoral Research in Andrology at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. His research focus primarily concerns Reproductive Biology, with expertise in sperm and seminal plasma proteomics. Manesh authored 75 peer-reviewed articles and 35 abstracts, presented his research at national and international scientific meetings, and coauthored 14 book chapters regarding male reproduction, molecular science, and proteomics. A recipient of the “Early-Stage Investigator Award” (2021) from the American Society of Andrology (ASA) and the “Early-Career Investigator Travel Award” (2021) from the American Urological Association (AUA), Dr. Panner-Selvam was elected Vice Chair of Andrology Laboratory Workshop (2022-2024) organized by the ASA.
