Listed Research Project
Assessment of the developmental potential of oocytes and embryos using biodynamic imaging

The proposed research will apply Biodynamic Imaging to detect intracellular movement in oocytes and embryos in order to assess their viability. It will provide much needed information that can lead to the production of high-quality embryos and hence, to the improvement of the efficiency of various assisted reproductive technologies.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
