Grant 11! @emilyjacobs & @caitaylo In the US, ~1.4 million birth control pill users are aged 15-19. Despite their wide usage, little to none is known about their neuronal impact on the developing brain. This neuroimaging study seeks to investigate this link for the first time!

Grant 10! Mengwen Hu The ovarian reserve defines the female reproductive lifespan. Unfortunately, ovaries age fast with many deemed geriatric by 35 yrs. This study explores unknown chromatin changes and proteins that initial research points to preserving a healthy egg supply!

Grant 9! Luc铆a Chico Sordo at IVI Foundation. Endometriosis is a painful condition affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide. This study will explore a promising relationship between endometriosis and specific miRNAs, with emphasis on the molecular pathways involved.

Grant 8! @PepinLab & Marie Meinsohn Even pre-birth women start losing their eggs. The AMH is the only known hormone to inhibit follicle activation. This team wants to develop drugs that mimic AMH by targeting its receptor (AMHR2) for clinical uses from contraception to aging!

1/ Solutions to the climate crisis are already here. But they're stuck in academic labs. Often, after the basic science is done, there鈥檚 just a little more work needed to show the science has commercial potential. But no one funds this! Introducing Manifest Climate!

Fantastic review on early embryonic models by @AshleyNAbel and @BernaSozen_! Go read it. They're both @reprogrants grantees馃槈
Ashley N. Abel@AshleyNAbel12 Jul 2023
Technologies to model early mammalian embryo development in vitro have advanced rapidly, providing new insights into self-organization and environmental control. @BernaSozen_ and I wrote a review as part of a special issue on #earlyembryonicmodels: rb.gy/fkpjk (1/3)

We're so excited to be working towards a new non-hormonal contraceptive to minimise side effects. Thank you to Sara and the repro grants team for the support!
reprogrants@reprogrants5 Apr 2023
Grant 7! @samdowland & Kirsten Shankie-Williams Copper IUD is the only non-hormonal, long-acting contraceptive available today. But they can cause cramping and be painful at insertion. This team is developing a new category of contraceptives using advanced biomedical materials!

Grant 6! @norahfogarty9 Healthy pregnancy relies on the functioning of the placenta. By generating patient-specific trophoblast stem cells, this research aims to develop better disease models for studying conditions such as preeclampsia which currently have no treatments.

Couldn't believe I was hearing those magic words 'fast funding for female reproductive science'! We are SO grateful to @fiftyyears and @sarakemppainen! This funding will certainly help us get this exciting project going. @UQMedicine @UQ_News @ReproductionSRB

Grant 5! @JosBowles & Michael Piper Is NFIX the new female-specific master regulator? Previous studies have shown NFIX's role in neural development & spermatogenesis, but no research has been done in the female context. Studying NFIX can aid our grasp of diseases like PCOS/POI!

Very excited about this new project @ColumbiaPS on the interplay between vaginal microbiome, #endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Thank you @reprogrants!
reprogrants@reprogrants14 Feb 2023
Grant 4! @tkorem, @DrHelaiHesham, @noemieelhadad at @Columbia Can the vaginal microbiome decode endometriosis? This trailblazing group will investigate if changes in the vaginal microbiome can be linked to specific endometriosis subtypes, stages, and symptoms.

We are excited to be part of the inaugural class of grants!
Sara Kemppainen@sarakemppainen8 Feb 2023
Until now, only a small portion of toxicants have been characterized due to limited biomonitoring methods. Excited to see this team change that and hopefully very soon inform policy for better health outcomes for us all!

Grant 3! @robinson_lab_UCSF & @TraceyJWoodruff There is growing evidence that environmental exposures to chemicals contribute to preterm birth. The @UCSF team will use a novel approach to profile maternal blood for thousands of environmental chemicals in high-risk communities.
