We are pleased to feature an interview with Dr. Elizabeth Bromfield, another speaker at the 17th NYRA Meeting. Dr. Bromfield is an ARC DECRA Fellow at the Priority Research Centre for Reproductive Science, where her work focuses on how human sperm cells recognize and interact with the egg to improve in vitro fertilization outcomes. Her research has provided key insights into sperm-egg recognition and the …
Nowadays, most children with cancer survive, but many experience long-term effects from their cancer treatment. Treatments like conditioning therapy for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, high cumulative doses of alkylating agents and radiation can damage the gonads, leading to problems such as infertility and delayed puberty in males. Identifying and addressing these issues in follow-up care …
