Summary: You have the clinical side which is essentially doing sperm analysis like looking at motility in shape and health, as well as sperm count, and also being involved in IVF treatments. The research side have varied a lot and what they did. But if I could maybe hone in on to one subject, it was epigenetics, which is essentially looking at how DNA changes based on your environment. And so a lot of the projects I got to be involved in range pretty significantly. I looked one thing I was heavily involved in was doing DNA extractions from bloods, spit, and sperm. And so the project there was the Gemini project, which is this initiative that's analyzing DNA from all across the world and looking how sperm has changed in different areas to show how men can be fertile and infertile.
