David O’Rourke: DNA vs Environment in Embryo Development
David O’Rourke, Co-Founder and CSO at ProFertility, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Epigenetics in Embryology!
How much of embryo development is written in the DNA… and how much is influenced by the environment we create?
This month, we explore one of the most important and evolving areas in reproductive science, epigenetics.
From culture conditions and lab practices to parental factors and early developmental cues, epigenetic regulation is shaping how we think about embryo viability, implantation, and long-term health.
What we’ll cover:
- The epigenetic landscape of early embryos
- How lab conditions influence gene expression
- Clinical implications for IVF outcomes
- Future directions in personalised reproductive medicine
As embryologists, clinicians, and scientists, understanding epigenetics moves us closer to not just creating embryos — but optimising their potential.
Join the discussion. Share your insights. Challenge the thinking.”
