Researchers: Prof Michelle Lane (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Darryl Russell

Brief description Three percent of children born in Australia are from IVF. It is typical in IVF to replace 2 or more embryos in order to attain an acceptable pregnancy rate. However, twin pregnancies are common as a result, with 25% of all twins coming from IVF. Twins represent a real medical issue for mother and infants. Therefore, this research will use new highly innovative technologies to determine the health of an individual embryo in the culture dish prior to transfer, making the selection and transfer of an individual embryo a reality.
