Our Vision
Male infertility is a common impairment affecting 7% of men. Our research focuses on uncovering genetic causes that affect normal spermatogenesis. Growing evidence supports that the quality of sperm may influence the fertilization process and the normal early development stages of the embryo. Our research aims to uncover genetic defects affecting male fertility.
