This fertility diagnostic technology fills a health needs gap by accurately diagnosing infertility in men and providing clinicians with actionable information to allow them to streamline fertility treatment pathways. The team aims to make the clinical journey for couples inclusive of men and to increase the births of healthy children.</p> Wed, 02 Feb 2022 15:23:26 +0000 webfull 177545 at /channels /channels/channels/news/how-sperm-remember-329649 <p>It has long been understood that a parent鈥檚 DNA is the principal determinant of health and disease in offspring. Yet inheritance via DNA is only part of the story; a father鈥檚 lifestyle such as diet, being overweight and stress levels have been linked to health consequences for his offspring. This occurs through the epigenome - heritable biochemical marks associated with the DNA and proteins that bind it. But how the information is transmitted at fertilization along with the exact mechanisms and molecules in sperm that are involved in this process has been unclear until now.</p> Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:23:23 +0000 webfull 169040 at /channels /channels/news/fathers-lasting-influence-molecular-foundations-intergenerational-transmission-paternal-environment-247887 <h5>Laval and 六合彩开奖结果 researchers team up with Health Canada and international researchers from Africa, Italy, Copenhagen and Greenland to investigate the impact of environmental exposures on the hertibale information coded in the fathers sperm and the health of offspring.聽 The research team includes Professor Sarah Kimmins of the Department of Animal Science and is funded for $1.5 million by the Institute of Aboriginal Health, and the Institute of Gender and Health.</h5> Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:02:49 +0000 webfull 109570 at /channels /channels/news/father-effect-255992 <p>Discovery of how environmental memories may be transmitted from a man to his grandchildren Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:11:38 +0000 webfull 113201 at /channels /channels/news/dr-sarah-kimmins-recipient-2016-ssr-young-investigator-award-259086 <p>聽</p> <p>六合彩开奖结果 <a href="/crrd/" target="_blank">Centre for Research in Reproduction聽 and Development</a> (CRRD) Associate Director <strong>Dr. Sarah Kimmins</strong> (Animal Science Department) is recipient of the 2016 SSR Young Investigator Award.</p> <p>This award recognizes an active Regular Member of the Society for outstanding research completed and published within 12 years after receiving the Ph.D. or other equivalent professional degree.</p> Tue, 16 Feb 2016 16:02:40 +0000 webfull 116718 at /channels
