Above: preliminary results from a past publication (Caujolle et al., Biomed Opt Express 8(11) (2017), doi:10.1364/BOE.8.005139) where bovine embryos were imaged in-situ.
The team currently behind the 5DHiResE project is reseaching the use of non-invasive, non-destructive imaging techniques, such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to establish the vitality of in-vitro produced (IVP) embryos (both bovine and porcine). This project is the result of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between the AOG and the Prof Griffin’s lab in the School of Biosciences. As partner industrial organisations, this project is reliant on the support of ActIVF-ET, Care Fertility Group, and Topigs Norsvin.
