Funded Activity Summary

~15% of couples are unable to have children. Their reliance on reproductive technologies (eg, IVF) has increased 4 fold over the past decade. One reason for infertility is that the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is not able to allow an embryo to attach – a key event in establishing healthy pregnancy. There is no test to assess whether the endometrium is ‘receptive’ to an embryo. We will develop special assays for a test and provide a basis for treatment without recourse to IVF.
