SummaryResearch into mammalian Reproductive Sciences in human and animal whole organism models and cellular and molecular biology-based systems continues to provide new insights into mechanisms controlling fertility, enabling us to control the processes of reproduction including assisted conception techniques (e.g. IVF), the design of novel forms of contraceptives and fertility control agents, and improving the outcomes mother and baby in pregnancy and at delivery. They have also helped to shape some of the powerful new research tools including the production of transgenic animals and therapeutic cloning which offer the prospects of benefit in many branches of the biological and medical sciences. This course is a 20 week research project on an area within Reproductive Sciences.
