Cambridge Reproduction Interdisciplinary Research Centre

Description

Cambridge Reproduction is an interdisciplinary research centre that explores the urgent challenges posed by reproduction today.

We facilitate close engagement between the arts, humanities and social sciences, biology and medicine. By approaching reproduction collectively and across disciplines, we offer fresh perspectives on broad issues which range from global policies to those which affect individuals, families and populations.

The rapid advances we see in reproductive technologies are instigating new legal, biological, medical, ethical and sociological challenges regarding topics such as gene editing, artificial gametes, developmental programming, parenting and family structures. This strategic research initiative will enable us to promote connections between these urgent contemporary challenges and, in the long view offer up critical perspectives and practical solutions.

We bring together researchers from all disciplines across Cambridge. We run a busy programme of cross-disciplinary events, as well as supporting researchers through small grants for projects, training and events relating to reproduction. We also facilitate new collaborations, funding applications and projects.
