OBJECTIVES

To collect human surplus oocytes from a wide age span and determine how FSH concentrations affect aneuploidy.
To identify key genetic networks that affect both oocyte depletion and aneuploidy in women.
To inhibit specific gene networks and determine how this affects ageing (both aneuploidy and survival)
