Funded Activity Summary

In this proposal, we shall exploit our expertise in gamete biology and innovative proteomic technologies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that underpin human sperm-oocyte interaction. This exquisitely cell- and species-specific event constitutes one of the most strategically important cellular interactions. Our research will provide the foundation for diagnosis and treatment of male infertility and identify a range of targets for the development of novel contraceptive technology.
