Summary
Oncofertility, bridges oncology and reproductive medicine in order to apply new fertility preservation options for young patients with fertility-threatening diseases or treatments. Development of the three dimensional (3-D) tissue culture system for follicle maturation is a novel method of replicating the native environment of the growing egg. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop and optimise an in vitro culture procedure that can be translated to support human follicle development.
