How sperm and eggs set trajectory for life [ 2013 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Michelle Lane (Principal investigator)

Brief description It is clear that the health and disease burden of offspring can be programmed by events before birth. This project will answer questions as to how this programming occurs. My focus is to understand how the environment affects the oocyte, sperm and embryo and how this impacts on the offspring. We will specifically study the effects of obesity and nutritional status of the parents but also the in vitro environment with a view to improving IVF outcomes.
