Funded Activity Summary

Molecular characterization of stem cell differentiation and oocyte maturation using synchrotron infrared spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy/Raman imaging. There are currently no molecular based methods to assess oocyte maturation and stem cell differentiation at the single cell level. Consequently the need for such techniques is critical in placing Australia at the forefront in this rapidly expanding field. Such technology would give Australia a leading edge in stem cell and oocyte research and ultimately assist in discovering disease cures for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases and spinal chord injury, while techniques for determining the viability of oocytes may have important implications for future in vitro fertilization programs. The intellectual property and technologies developed from this research could also have potential to impact on the global market.
