Funded Activity Summary

Approximately 1 in 25 men in the western world are infertile, and while environmental and genetic factors are recognized to contribute to disease, there is currently a poor understanding of the basic mechanisms regulating male fertility. Our long term goal is to identify and study key molecules involved in sperm production. Understanding the role of these molecules will provide insight into the causes of male infertility. Ultimately, these studies will assist to develop new treatments for male reproductive disorders. Conversely, there is a huge need for additional male based contraceptives. Increased understanding of male fertility and identification of proteins exclusively involved in sperm production provides the opportunity to develop new contraceptive treatments.
