Research interests
I am running a number of research studies in assisted conception including a large randomised controlled trial examining the use of Metformin in treatment of women with ovulatory polycystic ovaries (PCO) during IVF treatment. I am also examining the genetics of male infertility and most recently have started the UK's first IVM (oocyte in-vitro maturation) treatment programme.
