Applications under development
Our initial focus is the potential to add sperm microRNA information to donor-sperm screening, with future applications to explore in fertility care and reproductive research.
Lead application / Under investigation
We are developing sperm microRNA profiling as an additional molecular layer that could complement genetics, infectious-disease screening, donor history and semen analysis.
Our goal is to expand the information available in donor-sperm evaluation with a novel epigenetic perspective.
Future application / Subject to validation
Fertility-care settings may offer future opportunities to add sperm epigenetic information to preconception and reproductive-health evaluation.
We see long-term potential for a richer molecular view of sperm biology within fertility medicine and reproductive research.
Reproductive research
Sperm microRNA profiling creates opportunities to study how paternal biology relates to reproductive development.
Research applications include characterization of marker patterns, comparisons across cohorts, assay evaluation and the relationship between molecular measurements and reproductive outcomes.
