My research is to learn more of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms governing the development of the reproductive cell lineage, or the cells that make eggs and sperm. My research is required to better understand human reproduction and human embryonic, fetal and neonatal development, and will help in the treatment of diseases affecting these processes.
My research involves the generation of human cell types from of human embryonic stem cells. These normal human cells could potentially be used for transplantation, drug screening and vaccine development.
