何长久，博士，副研究员，硕士生导师，中共党员（学系党支部组宣委员）。华中农业大学“青年英才”A岗，动物繁殖学分会理事， 湖北省畜禽遗传资源普查专家组成员。主要从事雌性动物（羊、牛、小鼠等）繁殖调控与新品种选育的运用基础研究。主持或承担"农业部转基因重点项目"、"国家重点研发计划”以及“国家自然基金”等项目。

      近年来，坚持以探究卵泡发生与排卵调控机制为“立足点”，以优化、创新繁殖技术，提高雌性动物繁殖力为“目标”。累计在"Journal of pineal research", "Aging cell", "Communications biology",“Journal of biological chemistry”以及“Molecular human reproduction”等权威刊物上发表论文30余篇。获Wiley开放科学“中国杰出作者奖”(2023)、英国生殖与生育学会“生殖杂志奖”(2021)，并作为第2完成人获得吉林省“自然科学学术成果三等奖”(2018)。担任“Journal of pineal research”,“Communications biology”、"Biology of reproduction”以及“中国畜牧兽医”等多个期刊审稿人，授权专利7项。

       在教学上，承担本科生《动物繁殖学》、《动物繁殖学实验》；研究生《动物生殖生理学》、《动物繁殖理论与生物技术》以及《动物繁殖研究进展》等课程讲授。副主编本科教材《羊生产学》，参编《动物繁殖学》。
