Project description

Although oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) has undergone significant advancements, the systems that are currently in place still need to be further optimized. This project aims to develop an improved culture system for oocyte IVM able to reduce the frequency of polyspermy, which is one of the main causes of chromosomal aberrations in embryos produced in vitro.
