Vitrification and Warming for Oocytes & Embryos
Date: 13th to 14th May 2023
The course provides a one-to-one, hands-on training. Experts with long experience in the field of cryobiology will guide you through the practical aspects of oocyte & embryo vitrification and share with you the important tips and tricks which will help you excel your vitrification skills.
This course aims to provide intense and in-depth training options to
- Young scientist who wish to be introduced in hands-on practical experience on ART techniques practiced in modern ART labs
- Practicing junior embryologists technicians and andrologists who would like to improve their skills and understanding in the latest ART techniques
- ART scientists who are interested in updating their practical skills in the latest ART techniques and practices.
Course Information
Groups of up to 5 participants for each course and many hands-on sessions ensure maximum interaction and learning experience!
For each course
experts with long experience in the field of ART, will guide the participants through the fundamentals of each technique, demonstrate and teach each technique while sharing important tips and tricks!
