Our research portfolio spans molecular investigation into the health of oocytes (eggs) and embryos, through clinical research of common gynecological conditions, such as endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome, and rare disorders of sexual development, to public health issues such as pre-conception health and control of sexually transmitted infections.
Research Groups
Sexual and Reproductive Health
Our research focuses on the many aspects of sexual and reproductive health care from use of contraception and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections to pregnancy planning and healthcare bef
Translational Ovarian Physiology and Pathophysiology
Paul Hardiman leads clinical and laboratory based research programmes in reproductive medicine. He has a major interest in polycystic ovary syndrome, the commonest cause of anovulatory infertility and
Reproductive Science and Society Group
Our group is a multi-disciplinary team of basic scientists, social scientists and lawyers working on various aspects of reproductive technologies.
Preimplantation Genetics
Our research seeks to understand the underlying genetic causes for infertility with the aim of helping couples undergoing assisted reproduction select embryos that are likely to lead to birth of a healthy child.
Centre for Human Reproduction
The UCL/UCH Centre for Human Reproduction brings together the expertise of clinicians and researchers working in reproductive health at UCL and UCH.
Early Placentation Disorders
The main objective of our research is to better understand the pathophysiology of placental-related diseases of pregnancy with the aim of improving their diagnosis, management and outcome.
Gynaecological Development and Function
Gynaecological development and function is an umbrella group comprising several teams researching into different benign gynaecological conditions. These conditions may be congenital or acquired and can have a significant impact on gynaecological health and reproductive potential.
