Research Experience
She has been involved in various research projects and investigations related to advanced reproductive medicine. Dr. S. Vyjayanthi worked on “Cellular and Molecular Markers of Oocyte Quality” under the supervision of Dr Helen Picton, Professor and Head of Division for Reproduction & Early development, Leeds University, UK. The study aimed to determine whether any significant differences in the amino acid turnover exist between developmentally competent and arrested oocytes on in vitro maturation (IVM) for 24 hours. A further aim was to determine any significant differences between oocytes obtained from PCOS and non-PCOS patients. Oocytes, which progressed in vitro to MII, exhibited amino acid patterns different from those arrested. Oocytes from PCOS patients showed a different amino acid turnover than non-PCOS patients. The data suggested a link between amino acid metabolism and oocyte quality.
She has also been involved in the following research projects in the Reproductive Medicine Unit in Leeds:
1. Birth weight study– an observational study to investigate whether the birth weight of women affects their response to stimulation during IVF treatment.
2. A phase two randomised trial to investigate the dose-response relationship of a single injection of long-acting FSH to initiate multiple follicular growths in IVF cycles.
3. A prospective randomised study comparing Nourish (preconception conditioning programme) with placebo in couples undergoing IVF treatment
4. RCT of Menopur versus Gonal-F in the management of anovulatory infertility.
5. A prospective randomised study of the optimal timing for the administration of HCG in women undergoing IVF in a GnRH antagonist cycle.
