Scientists at Erasmus MC have succeeded in making mouse embryos without using eggs, sperm cells and a uterus. They used stem cells. The artificial embryos enable animal-free research into the very beginning of life.

Researchers at Erasmus MC have developed a new method to combine data from large genetic studies, Genome-Wide Association Studies, or GWAS, for many traits. With the first result, their C-GWAS method has again found genes associated with facial shape. The researchers from the Department of Genetic Identification in collaboration with other Erasmus MC departments such […]

Erasmus MC participates in scientific studies of ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This is a form of life support that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs.

Researchers at Erasmus MC will start two ambitious projects to better treat or even cure sickle cell disease. They are betting on molecular spelling correction and on baby hemoglobin.
