The diagnostic platform

In development

The sperm
microRNA test.

Designed to profile the regulatory signals that accompany sperm—not just the inherited DNA sequence.

Sperm microRNA profiling: molecular signals and biological context

Designed around molecular measurement

A focused panel. A different biological layer.

Profile microRNA signals

Measure a focused panel of small regulatory RNAs in sperm, with an emphasis on reproducible molecular readouts.

Investigate biological context

Evaluate patterns associated with paternal experience, including stress and adversity, and their possible relevance to offspring development.

Inform a new screening layer

Add a targeted molecular perspective to existing reproductive screening.

The proposed workflow

From sperm sample to molecular profile.

01

Sperm sample

The starting material.

02

RNA isolation

Access the small-RNA fraction.

03

Targeted panel

Measure selected microRNAs.

04

Molecular profile

Characterize signal patterns.

The development objective

Make the biology
measurable.

Our goal is to turn research on sperm-borne microRNAs into a consistent laboratory assay, then establish where the information is clinically meaningful.

That means defining the marker panel, sample handling, assay controls and reporting approach—and testing the platform in independent studies.
