The Reproductive Biotechnology Group has an international reputation in the general areas of reproductive biology and the development of associated technologies for biomedical and agricultural applications. In collaboration with a number of university, institute and hospital research groups in Australia as well as overseas, current research is focused on developing organ, tissue and cell replacement therapies. This work is funded by various agencies including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the National Health and Medical Research Council and industry. Current research is also focussed on the isolation of embryonic stem cells from the pig. These will be used for a range of biomedical and agricultural applications including as a large animal model for human stem cell research.
