All staff and students are invited to Jennifer Hutchison's confirmation of canditature, 12 June at 12pm, Level 3 boardrooms, MIMR building.

Synopsis: I am investigating the mechanisms which underpin human endometrial receptivity and embryo adhesion. As obese women disproportionately suffer from infertility, I am examining the effects of specific obesity related factors on endometrial receptivity and embryo adhesion. Furthermore, I will be investigating the effects of these same factors on preimplantation embryonic development. Hopefully by normalising the effects of obesity we can improve IVF outcomes for obese women.
