A research study to investigate factors supporting in vitro human embryo development
Researchers rely on treatment clinics to help recruit egg, sperm or embryo donors for their projects. This is only possible if researchers and clinics establish partnerships.
This section of the Portal contains a list of research projects that are actively looking for clinic partners, to help identify potential donors for their research. It includes details about the projects, the types of research materials needed and any support or resources available to help recruit donors.
If you are a treatment centre and are interested in establishing a partnership with one or more of these research groups, please contact the project lead directly.
