Description:
A menu of factors in the IVF lab crucial for its success, from oocyte quality to standard protocols to performance indicators.
The IVF laboratory has many analogies with menu of factors in the IVF lab. Inspired by the burning passion that scientists often have for cooking, this Online workshop includes topics that, being crucial to assure successful treatment in IVF, can satisfy the most sophisticated palates. Experienced IVF specialists will propose their “recipes” for an IVF laboratory to win a Michelin star, covering subjects such as gamete quality, lab setup, protocol improvement, measurement of performance, cryopreservation and translational science.
Target audience:
Embryologists, clinicians, andrologists, and scientists working within reproductive medicine
