In vitro fertilisation, or IVF, is not just for humans or farm animals. The techology could become a powerful tool for saving endangered animal species.
At our next BrisScience, The University of Queensland's Dr Andres Gambini will explore how reproductive technologies might be adapted for wildlife conservation.
His pioneering work offers new possibilities for protecting animals at risk of extinction and preserving biodiversity for future generations.
We are very excited to welcome you back to The Edge next month. We'll be serving up delicious light refreshments and drinks after the presentation.

Dr Andres Gambini is a researcher at The University of Queensland, specialising in animal reproduction. His research focuses on improving fertility in domestic and wild species, with a strong emphasis on conservation. He has pioneered IVF applications in zebras, donkeys, kangaroos, and other endangered animals.
