DFG supports Clinical Research Unit on male infertility with several million Euros
Münster (mfm/sm) - To found a family and have children is an intense desire of many couples. However, in many cases this desire remains just a dream - for example when the man is infertile.

Scientists from seven different clinics and institutions will work together in eight projects to investigate the causes of male infertility. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) supports the work of the teams with an initial 3.5 million Euros for three years.
