Coming Events
Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community The Discriminating Female: How the choosy female immune system exercises reproductive quality control The success or failure of human reproduction has been thought to depend on many things over the years, but the female immune response isn't one of them. In fact, it was widely believed to remain passive throughout the process. Recent research at the University of Adelaide's Robinson Institute, however, is turning the conventional wisdom on its head. The woman's immune system has been shown to play a critical role from conception to embryo implantation to placental development, actively assessing sperm quality, embryo viability and embryo-maternal compatibility, then "deciding" whether or not to proceed. Professor Sarah Robertson will discuss these fascinating insights and explore their exciting implications for the treatment of many fertility disorders. WHEN: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 10 May
