Current research comprises of the following:

Wellcome Trust funded research project:

The influence of solubilized homologuous zona pellucida on the human acrosome reaction, sperm-zona binding and motion characteristic of capacitated human spermatozoa.

Objectives:

  • Acrosome responsiveness (AR) mediated by solubilized human zona pellucida, the results will be used to define;
  • insufficient acrosome response i.e. where the difference between spontaneous and zona mediated AR is less that <10%,
  • normal acrosome response where the difference between spontaneous AR and induced AR is >15%.
