Embryo implantation and Placental Development [ 2013 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Guiying Nie (Principal investigator)

Brief description Implantation of an embryo into the uterus & development of a functional placenta are critical to initiate & continue a pregnancy. Implantation failure causes infertility and is a major bottle-neck in IVF. Placental insufficiency leads to pregnancy loss, under-developed fetuses & a life-threatening pregnancy-specific disease preeclampsia. This application will investigate how a woman’s uterus works for implantation and placental development, how to increase IVF success and diagnose & potentially treat preeclampsia.
