The Division's research encompasses a wide range of themes spanning conception to the female menopause. Research areas include fertilisation, reproduction, pre-eclampsia and pre-term labour. The Division offers a unique research environment, using a wide range of experimental approaches in molecular, cellular, physiological, biochemical, clinical and translational themes combining science with clinical application. <br><br>Students work alongside staff researchers, are supervised by two members of academic staff and overseen by a divisional research co-ordinator. Students' progress is monitored closely and reported on every six months. To complement facilities available within research divisions, the Faculty has developed excellent research support facilities on both campuses for photography, molecular biology and electron microscopy, mechanical and electronics workshops.
