Professor Azim Surani's research is centered on genomic imprinting and early human development, focusing on germline totipotency. His work explores the origin of germ cell lineage and the specification of primordial germ cells. Surani investigates epigenetic resetting of the 'immortal' germ cell lineage and seeks to understand the genetic and epigenetic information transmission and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. His research involves studying early human preimplantation embryos and fetal embryos, as well as germ cells in developing gonads. Surani is involved in the development of in vitro models for early human germline development and exploring the establishment of synthetic gametes. He employs various approaches, including single cell analysis, high-resolution imaging, gene editing, and bioinformatics to advance his research.
