- Effects of Xenobiotics on male and female fertility (EM, BN & SR),
- Exploitation of novel cell surface markers for sterilising agents (SD EM),
- Investigation of DNA repair proteins - roles in meiosis and cancer (BN EM),
- Molecular characterisation of RNA binding proteins in male and female germ cell development (EM),
