The overall aim of my laboratory is to understand the parameters that define the health of preimplantation embryos by using genetic, immunological, and imaging methods. The preimplantation period of development starts at the moment of fertilization and continues until implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall, a process that takes 5 days in the mouse and 6 days in humans. During the preimplantation period the embryos are free floating in the reproductive tract. This makes it possible to remove the embryos from their mothers and subject them to well-controlled experimental protocols. We use the mouse as a model system with the long-range goal of using results from our experiments on mice to develop methods to identify healthy human embryos created in in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics.
