Gamete and Embryo Biology

Research Leader: Dr Michelle Lane

The Gamete and Embryo Biology group is focused on understanding how oocytes, sperm and embryos develop and what the impact of the environment is to their health.

The group has a special interest in exploring the underlying cause of infertility and to develop better treatment strategies to improve the success of human assisted reproductive technologies.

Research Priorities:

• Mammalian oocyte biology
• Mammalian preimplantation development
• Sperm biology
• IVF/assisted reproduction
• Obesity and infertility
