Funded Activity Summary

Steroidal control of male meiosis. This innovative project will study a complex cellular process (meiosis) essential for sperm development and sexual reproduction. Collaborations and novel experimental design provide cutting edge techniques and opportunity for Australian researchers to contribute important discoveries to this field. We aim to provide new knowledge of steroid-dependent molecular factors that may activate (or inhibit) meiosis. Such novel information may significantly impact diverse areas related to controlling mammalian reproductive development, such as health and well-being (a healthy start to life, fertility control), farming and agriculture (livestock production, pest management) and the Australian environment (conservation, pest management).
