      HI abrar,
      I’m hoping that the stem cells I make can be used to transplant cells into people with faulty cells, such as people with diabetes, or parkinsons disease and cancer. As well as this, the embryos that I work on have helped us understand why some people have trouble getting pregnant, and why sometimes, people suffer from early pregnancy loss. I know that the things I work on in the lab will only answer a tiny part of the problems, but lots of little things from scientists all working together hopefully will help lots of people in the future.
