Biology of the Testis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Our research team studies spermatogenesis with a special focus on spermatogonial stem cells. Our current aim is to develop strategies in order to prevent infertility after gonadotoxic treatments. Fertility can be preserved by either limiting the loss of gametes and their precursors or by storing gametes and/or their precursors. Gonadotoxicity is an important side effect of cancer treatments. While adult men can bank their spermatozoa prior to ...
