Addressing Challenges in Fertility and Reproduction-Addressing Challenges in Fertility and Reproduction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video begins with the final plenary session of ENDO 2022 focusing on the challenges of fertility and reproduction. Two speakers are introduced, and before their talks, two laureate award recipients are recognized, Dr. Rita Cugliani for the Outstanding Public Service Award, and Dr. Simon Rhodes for the Sidney H. Engbar Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Cugliani, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is honored for her dedication to public awareness and service in the field of endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. She has been involved in various committees and organizations related to diabetes care and insulin affordability. Dr. Rhodes, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at the University of North Florida, is recognized for his service to the Endocrine Society and his contributions to the field of endocrinology, particularly in diversity, equity, and inclusion. After the award presentations, the video transitions to the first speaker, Dr. Genevieve Neal-Parry, Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. She discusses the challenges and advancements in reproductive endocrinology, including the development of stem cells and their applications in fertility preservation, recurrent pregnancy loss, and endocrine disorders. She also discusses the importance of understanding the differences between naive and prime pluripotent stem cells, and their impact on fertility outcomes. The transcript then moves on to the second speaker, Professor Jacob Hanna, who discusses his research on ex-utero systems for mammalian reproduction. He describes the development of a device and technique that allows for the growth of mouse embryos outside of the uterus, enabling the study of early development processes, such as gastrulation and organogenesis. Professor Hanna also discusses the potential for synthetic embryology, in which entire embryos could be created from pluripotent stem cells without the need for a natural host. He concludes by acknowledging his team members and inviting interested individuals to inquire about positions in his lab. The video ends with a reminder of upcoming sessions at the conference.
