Vitrification and Warming for Oocytes & Embryos
Date: TBA
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.
