SummaryBasic research in mammalian Reproductive Sciences continues to be applied within and indeed beyond the field to improve outcomes and solve problems in medicine, veterinary medicine and agriculture. Molecular, cellular, animal model and clinically-based research continues to provide new insights into reproductive mechanisms and systems. These have helped to improve outcomes in female and male fertility, and also during pregnancy for baby and mother, whilst establishing a range of powerful new techniques including assisted conception and production of transgenic animals and therapeutic cloning. This series of weekly lectures, and linked tutorials covers in depth a broad spectrum of the mechanisms, systems, models, clinical applications, advances and issues within the Reproductive Sciences field.
