SUMMARY

How does life begin? What drives a newly fertilized egg to keep dividing and growing until it becomes 40 trillion cells, a greater number than stars in the galaxy?

Discover how early life repairs and organises itself, what this means for the future of pregnancy, and how we might solve IVF disorders and prevent miscarriages.

Join Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz as she discusses her research into the previously unknown ability for embryos to correct abnormalities at an early stage of development.
