ESHRE invites you to attend its workshop on freezing of human sperm, eggs and embryos in Athens, Greece "Cryobiology and cryopreservation of human gametes and embryos". The workshop provides a forum for clinicians and scientists to share research results and discuss problems and new developments.
Here a few of the new research findings that fertility experts from in and outside of Europe will announce:
- Vitrification of reproductive cells: the next breakthrough in assisted reproduction?
- Sperm and testicular tissue freezing
- Ovarian tissue freezing
- Vitrification of eggs
- Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa
- Slow freezing and vitrification of embryos
Reproductive medicine is one of today's most exciting scientific and clinical areas. Every month brings announcements of research developments, medical 'firsts', new rulings by regulatory bodies, or ethical controversies - often sparking a heated debate among practitioners in the field themselves, as well as ethicists, legislators, the media and the public. ESHRE's activities provide the media with the opportunity to hear the latest research news and interview the experts. All sessions are open to the media.
ESHRE is pleased to offer access to this workshop to bona fide journalists in possession of a recognized press card or a commissioning letter on headed paper from the publication they are working for. Registration is free of charge. Journalists are required to observe embargoes as indicated either by ESHRE staff or by the date/time of the presented session.
