Work Packages

Work package 1
Embryo-endometrial interactions in human

Creating a comprehensive molecular and cellular blueprint of human implantation. Our research investigates the complex interactions between embryo and endometrium, focusing on key factors that determine successful pregnancy, including the role of trophoblast cells, endometrial receptivity, and immune responses.

Work package 2
Implantation fitness for food production

Advancing our understanding of implantation in food production animals to enhance reproductive efficiency and sustainability. This work package examines the molecular mechanisms underlying successful implantation in livestock, aiming to reduce pregnancy losses and improve breeding outcomes.

Work package 3
Advanced toolkit for implantation research

Developing next-generation research tools and models to transform implantation research. Our innovative platforms combine bioengineering, artificial intelligence, and stem cell technology to create sophisticated systems for studying and manipulating the implantation process in both humans and livestock.

Upcoming network events
IMPLANTEU organizes a series of internal training events and scientific symposia to advance implantation research and foster the development of our doctoral candidates.
