Research Field: improving IVF
techniques using non-invasive methods
Dr Dunning is developing new
technologies that overcome the need
for a cell biopsy, and instead, use light
to take a non-invasive, 'molecular

involves shining gentle doses of light
on embryo and using the scattered
light that comes back to reveal the
intricacies of its biochemistry, providing
insight into the embryo's health.
