CRU webinar: Can chemicals in follicular fluid affect oocytes and developing embryos?
Welcome to this CRU Webinar with the speaker Stina Wallander, veterinarian and PhD student at the Department of Clinical Sciences; Reproduction, SLU.
Date: 14 October 2026
Time: 12:15 - 13:00
Language: English
Organiser: CRU
Location: Online
Summary: We are exposed to a wide variety of chemicals daily, yet the effects of chemical mixtures on female reproductive health remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will present our work investigating the potential effects of human-relevant chemical mixtures on oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. We use a bovine in vitro embryo production model in combination with confocal image analysis.
