When it comes to assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures involving eggs, sperm and embryos, ensuring gamete safety and accuracy is of utmost importance. At our clinics, the safety of our patients and their precious embryos and gametes is our top priority and a crucial aspect of our laboratory policies and procedures.
As World Embryologist Day is celebrated on the 25th of July, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Jayne Mullen. In this blog article, Jayne Mullen, one of our outstanding Scientific Directors, shares her personal journey, insights into the evolution of the field, and her vision for the future of embryology.
Our embryologists are key members of your IVF support team, playing a critical role in every stage of your journey with us here at City Fertility. In honour of International Embryologist Day, we caught up with one of our wonderful embryologists, Jessica Morris, to give you an insight into her role as an embryologist
Research suggests that 30 per cent of children’s hospital admissions are due to genetic disorders, however with the help of advanced preimplantation genetic testing of embryos, the number of children born with these genetic diseases can potentially be reduced.
At City Fertility we employ the most advanced genetic testing method currently available called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). NGS is an extremely sensitive testing method with the analysis including several hundred thousand readings for each chromosome.
The 25th July is recognised as World Embryologist Day, the same special date as the world’s first IVF baby being born.
Embryologists play a critical role in an IVF clinic – they are the scientific staff who help make babies happen, literally creating life in their hands. They are sometimes referred to as the ‘caretakers’ of a patient’s sperm, eggs or embryos because they are the nurturers of this new start of life.
