Current Research Projects :
Current research is in the areas of in vitro embryo production and the application of microfluidic (µF) technologies to embryology. This includes the investigation of the physical, developmental and molecular differences between traditionally derived in vitro embryos and in vitro embryos manipulated by µF means. Differences in developmental kinetics and cellular protein expression in embryos undergoing the cumulus removal techniques of hand-stripped, µF treated and vortexed embryos will be evaluated.
