I investigate genetic uniqueness. My main research area is genetic abnormalities in preimplantation embryos and how they relate to fertility and infertility. I investigate the mechanisms that produce chromosomal abnormalities in human gametes and embryos as well as the development of laboratory techniques that would allow the study of such mechanisms. I lead the Genetics of infertility project looking at whole human genomes in collaboration with the amazing Genomics England database.
My research also focuses on the genetics of antibiotic resistance of Klebsiela P. and I am currently leading the PHAROS project in collaboration with University Hospital Dorset.
