Summary | Research into mammalian Reproductive Sciences in human and animal whole organism models and cellular and molecular biology-based systems continues to provide new insights into mechanisms controlling fertility, enabling us to control the processes of reproduction including assisted conception techniques (e.g. IVF), the design of novel forms of contraceptives and fertility control agents, and improving the outcomes mother and baby in pregnancy and at delivery. They have also helped to shape some of the powerful new research tools including the production of transgenic animals and therapeutic cloning which offer the prospects of benefit in many branches of the biological and medical sciences. This course is a 20 week research project on an area within Reproductive Sciences. |

Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is to act as the second of two research projects for the MSc by Research in Reproductive Sciences. The learning outcomes for the course are to provide students with the opportunity to acquire 1/ relevant research skills and associated generic/transferable skills in Reproductive Sciences, and 2/ a broad and in depth understanding of the academic discipline in order to (a) provide students with thorough and specific preparation for 3 year PhD training in the Reproductive and life sciences, which will award an MSc by Research en route to a PhD and/or (b) provide an opportunity for career exploration in Reproductive Sciences.
