Blastocyst Biopsy and Tubing

Date: 23-24/11/2024

The course provides a one-to-one, hands-on training. Experts with long experience in the field of Preimplantation Genetic Testing will teach you the theory and practice of trophectoderm biopsy and tubing technique and share important tips and tricks which will help you excel your skills.

This course aims to provide intense and in-depth training options to

  1. Young scientist who wish to be introduced in hands-on practical experience on ART techniques practiced in modern ART labs
  2. Practicing junior embryologists technicians and andrologists who would like to improve their skills and understanding in the latest ART techniques
  3. ART scientists who are interested in updating their practical skills in the latest ART techniques and practices.
