The PhD/MPhil Reproductive Sciences programme enables students to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Reproductive Sciences. This area hosts a clinical and academic research programme with the overarching aim of improving the safety and efficacy of assisted conception (IVF) treatment. This programme aims to: understand the biochemistry and molecular biology of early human embryo development and in particular, the impact of the in vitro environment and IVF technologies; use IVF technologies as a model intervention (the only ethically acceptable one) in early human development to understand early programming of child and adult health; derive embryonic stem cells from human embryos for use as: (a) a model system for the study of early human development and (b) a source of cells for regenerative medicine therapies.
