The role of Bid in apoptosis within the ovary [ 2015 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Karla Hutt (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Richard Anderson

Brief description Women are born with a limited supply of eggs and are unable to make new eggs after birth. Because of this, the number and health of eggs established within the ovary early in life influence the length of time for which a female will be fertile, her age at menopause, and the health of her offspring. This project aims to shed some light on the mechanisms that control egg supply and reproductive longevity in women by investigating the role of the cell death protein Bid within the ovary.
