      Hello
      Nope, nothing i have done personally has resulted in a person dying – as far as other work in my field goes, i don’t think any ovary freezing work as ever caused a person to die – not reported anyway
      Hurray!! 🙂
      I have worked on 2 main projects – ovary freezing and looking at nutritional effects on the way the ovary works.
      I work at the University of Nottingham

      No, I dont work with patients, so nobody died on my watch, thankfully.

      Have worked on lots of different projects. Three major themes over the years 1. Ca2+ ions in eggs 2. pH regulation in eggs 3. Spindles and chromosomes in eggs (presently).

      I dont know that i want to create anything wacky. We do have one thing in out lab which you might consider a bit wacky, which is a mouse whuch glows green. This doesnt cause it any discomfort at all… but helps us to particular see parts of cells we are interested in.

      I work in London… close to euston station
