Topics in this theme

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) research seeks to shed light on the factors responsible for reproductive failure. We are also actively engaged in efforts to improve infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Our work aims to simplify treatments and reduce risks, increase success rates and lower costs.
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Endometriosis Care
Endometriosis Care
Developing novel techniques to preserve the fertility of children and young adults.
Fertility Preservation
Our work focuses on the pre pregnancy risk factors that pre dispose a complicated pregnancy (such as pre term babies, pre eclampsia or miscarriage)
Miscarriage
Our research focusses on understanding the intricate and complex mechanisms that regulate oocyte and follicle development in health and disease. The overarching goal is to develop new fertility treatments for women.
Oocytes and Ovaries
Our work aims to optimise pain relief and quality of life for women with chronic pain by improving our understanding of the mechanisms generating pain in women and the interaction between hormones and pain.
Pain in Women
Dr Suzannah Williams and her research team have begun work to find a new way of saving the Northern White Rhino by using tissue taken from animal ovaries to produce potentially large numbers of eggs in a laboratory setting.
Rhino Fertility Project
Our research explores sperm development, structure and function. Our overarching aim is to improve our understanding of the processes of sperm formation and function using a variety of laboratory techniques and models.
