Research
Innovating to help bring life into the world
The focus of our research is in developing new technologies and innovations that can help prevent, diagnose and treat causes of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss and give the best possible chances for a successful pregnancy. Research programs include developing methods for non-invasive real-time assessment of placental structure and function by studying circulating RNA and innovating new sequencing technologies to enable rapid testing for chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, CVS and amniocentesis samples and miscarriage samples.
