Heads and Tails - Tracking the sperm's beating flagellum
Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, is emotionally devastating, and requires expensive and invasive treatments. Importantly, we place a significant and unequal burden on women, who often require risk-bearing procedures to address what is caused by, in 50% of cases, a male factor. Read more
Sperm have got the bends - elastohydrodynamic modelling of beat generation
Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, is emotionally devastating, and requires expensive and invasive treatments. Importantly, we place a significant and unequal burden on women, who often require risk-bearing procedures to address what is caused by, in 50% of cases, a male factor. Read more
Robotics and Automation of Sperm Injection for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Assistive reproductive technology (ART) involves medical procedures through the use of technology that help improve success rates in infertility treatments such as IVF. Read more
Development and evaluation of an e-Learning training package to improve fertility healthcare staff skills in sharing health-related bad news with patients.
Bad news is a daily event in health care. At fertility clinics sharing bad news (e.g., infertility diagnosis, treatment failure, miscarriage) is a daily task for staff, but evidence-based guidance on how to do so is lacking. Read more
Characterising male reproductive tissues for the development of accurate preclinical models
Project. This project is seeking to recruit a PhD candidate to work as part of an ERC Starting Grant funded project (alongside two postdoctoral researchers and three other PhD candidates). Read more
Developing novel treatments for refractory and relapsed osteosarcoma using advanced pre-clinical models
Osteosarcoma is the most common bone cancer in children. Patients presenting without metastasis have a 5-year survival rate of 65%. Read more
How does twitchy link to ciliary function in sperm cells
Cilia are hair-like structures that project from the surface of cells and act as “cellular antennae,” sensing and relaying information from the environment. Read more
SERS-based lateral flow assays for human embryo quality assessment
In the past decades, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has been widely used for infertility treatment. However, multiple pregnancies/twin gestation remains an issue because of the implantation of multiple fertilized eggs (embryos) in one IVF cycle for enhancing the pregnancy success rate. Read more
Modelling scar formation in endometriosis
This opportunity will remain open until the position has been filled and so early applications are encouraged. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women during their reproductive years and is often associated with debilitating pelvic pain and impaired fertility. Read more
Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

The role of the immune system in women’s reproductive health
The human endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue that rapidly regenerates over approximately 20 days and differentiates to form a uterus lining receptive to embryo implantation, further transforming into decidua to support embryonic development, or breaking down before regenerating a few days later. Read more
Redefining the use of steroids in endometriosis: key mechanisms and new solutions
Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that affects an estimated 190 million women of reproductive-age worldwide [1]. In endometriosis, cells similar to the lining of the uterus typically form lesions around the bowel, ovaries and bladder, causing chronic inflammation and scarring. Read more
Perrault syndrome - a pleiotropic disorder of mitochondrial dysfunction
Perrault syndrome is a rare clinically and genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive condition. Affected individuals have severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Read more
