Project examples
Infertility is a growing concern in Europe, affecting one in six couples across the region. A team carrying out EU-supported research is working on techniques to tackle this, such as pre-implantation genetic testing to ensure mothers who get pregnant through in-vitro fertilisation give birth to children free from genetic diseases. The researchers are also helping to improve overall female reproductive health and methods for predicting fertility.
