DESCRIPTION:Human embryos must successfully generate embryo-fated cells th
 at eventually give rise to the fetus\, and placental- and yolk-sac-fated c
 ells that support continued embryonic development. Embryo-fated cells are 
 established one week after fertilisation of an egg. We know comparatively 
 little about this critical process in human development because human embr
 yos are challenging to study\, and few countries fund or allow such studie
 s. My laboratory has optimised advanced molecular and imaging methods\, an
 d helped change UK and international regulation\, to allow direct function
 al studies of human embryogenesis. We seek to use these methods to provide
  fundamental insights into molecular mechanisms that control early human e
 mbryonic development. We are particularly interested in understanding the 
 mechanisms that regulate early cell fate decisions and to apply the knowle
 dge gained to stem cell biology.
