Pathways to a healthy lifespan: investigating the exceptional fertility of Naked Mole Rats

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

As women age, their reproductive system undertakes significant changes that impact on their fertility and overall health. Despite its importance to society, research that could delay or limit these impacts on women’s health is held back by a lack of suitable models. Read more

Born Slippy: Understanding the tribological mechanisms of fertility treatments and their impact on conception

University of Birmingham Department of Mechanical Engineering

Infertility affects 186M women in the developed world, with approximately 55M attributed to tubal patency - this is a big problem! Hysterosalpingography or HSG is a diagnostic procedure that is also an effective treatment for tubal problems. Read more

Differential equation modelling to address male infertility

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

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

MSc by Research: Understanding the beginning of life: the role of non- canonical ubiquitylation in early embryonic development

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Ubiquitin is a small, yet influential, protein that is attached to other substrates to control their stability or activity in a process called ubiquitylation. Read more
