About 10% of couples are unintentionally childless. The causes of infertility often lie in the egg. As women age, more and more eggs become defective. Melina Schuh, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, studies how eggs develop, how they function and why they are so often defective. In her presentation, she will talk about how eggs support embryo development and about new methods that could help more couples to conceive.
