Reproductive endocrinology is a branch of science that involves endocrinologic aspect of gonadal function in both sexes and reproduction. Better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying reproductive disorders and the application of problems of human reproduction especially endocrinological problems are important. This lecture will enable students to develop broad vision on molecular aspects of reproductive endocrinology and will allow in depth study of current aspects of reproduction.

This course is non-credit and aims to increase the scientific interaction between students and improve their presentation skills with the participation of students from all interdisciplinary programs. The Seminar course which is consisting of presentation of the studies and researches in front of the community within the framework of the techniques determined with the guidance of the advisor, and question and answer part are graded each semester.

This course will provide an up-to-date overview on reproductive genetics and immunology varying from very fundamental aspects of genetics to most-complicated genetic analysis tools and their application to certain reproductive disorders and prenatal diagnosis. In addition to genetics, there will be comprehensive lectures on the immunology of reproduction at implantation, early pregnancy and certain commonly seen benign reproductive disorders and recurrent abortions. Moreover, immune editing and immune escape mechanisms in benign and malignant disorders of the reproductive system will be reviewed.
