M+AE Pinnacle Seminar (Round 4) featuring #MelatiAbdulHalim Melati's compelling research focuses on the complex biofluidmechanics of the reproductive tract, exploring how they influence epithelial cell development & sperm motion to advance fertility treatments. #monashMAE

Thrilled to share the clinical validation of our cutting-edge SpermGuide Technology for sperm selection in IVF 🎉 This milestone brings us one step closer to advavce ART with enhanced precision and outcomes for patients. read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Reproductive BioMedicine Online NeoGenix Biosciences

Research leads #MelatiSuhailaAbdulHalim & #DrRezaNosrati of Applied Microfluidics & Bioengineering (AMB) Lab find fluid viscosity in female reproductive tract helps modify cells lining fallopian tubes to facilitate transport of eggs for fertilisation. nature.com/articles/s4146…

🇦🇺 Aussie researchers are using a #biomimetic #microfluidic sperm-sorter to isolate healthier #sperm for #IVF, selecting those with lower #DNAfragmentation and #highermotility. 🧬 This could improve #embryoquality, boost implantation rates, and reduce #miscarriage risks.✨

Great way to close the week with a group pizza lunch 🍕 catching up with Yuen, one of our alumni back from Malaysia 🇲🇾, and reviewing a paper on using segmentation for classifying histology images 🔬. Have a great weekend and semester break, everyone! 🎉 Monash Engineering

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚 Our latest work in Nature Cell Biology led by Christopher Thomas and Tabea Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. bit.ly/3Ya8dEL (1/7)

A new study on the relationship between fluid viscosity and cellular function in the reproductive tract offers a new perspective on how fluid dynamics within the tract might influence fertility. ow.ly/bolL50TPna0

Last Thursday we hosted our Florey Postdoctoral Association (FPA) Symposium. A big thank you to our speakers Dr Reza Reza Nosrati, Senior Lecturer from Monash University, and Dr Dr Kat Page, Author, Speaker and Leadership Partner, for sharing their insights with our researchers!

Here in this study, we demonstrated for the first time the application of light-sheet microscopy on-a-chip as a proof-of-concept. This approach facilitates the integration of highly advanced technology to measure metabolic activity in a microchip! doi.org/10.1093/humrep…

🇦🇺 Aussie researchers have developed a light-sheet on-a-chip device which captures metabolic signatures in mouse embryos, offering insights into early #embryo health. 🌟 🔬NAD(P)H #autofluorescence measurements can predict which embryos may develop into healthy #blastocysts.
