Brief description As women age, both the quality and quantity of their eggs decline and their chances of conceiving plummets. Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a disease of infertility, diagnosed in 3% of all women, defined by the early onset of menopause before age 40. Our poor understanding of the factors that regulate female egg supply remains a major limitation in treating POF. I will study key factors responsible for controlling egg number, with practical implications for POF diagnosis and treatment.
