About this event

Cambridge Reproduction Forum is a termly meeting organised by the Cambridge Reproduction. The Forum provides a friendly multidisciplinary platform for researchers at the University of Cambridge and affiliated institutions to share their research and meet others with an interest in any aspect of reproduction.

This term's Forum will focus on ectogenesis. Ectogenesis means development of the embryo/fetus outside the human body. Ectogenesis can be complete or partial. In this meeting, we will consider recent progress in achieving partial ectogenesis in lambs as a model for humans, and will then go on to consider some of the ethico-legal consequences of the development of complete or partial ectogenesis. We are fortunate in having some of the leading thinkers in the field presenting. The programme has been organised by Professor Martin Johnson and Ms Jolie Zhou.
