Developing an in vitro model of a human blastocyst [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Using novel cellular and molecular technologies we propose to develop an artificial model of an early human blastocyst. This will allow us to study the first initial steps in human development without the use of real embryos. Such a model will not only help us decipher the first steps in human development, but we anticipate it will be essential to study how gene mutations and the environment affect this initial step in human development.
