IVI Global Education

This course will explain different molecular and cell biology techniques that are used most frequently in the field of assisted reproduction. Among them, we will consider techniques to study nucleic acids such as PCR, quantitative PCR, and expression arrays.

Infertility is an extremely common problem in developed societies that is mainly associated with a delay in maternal age, as well as with environmental and genetic factors. Fortunately, the development of techniques to overcome infertility has undergone a rapid and remarkable evolution. This course will try to provide a global vision of assisted reproductive techniques...

One of the main parts of an As­sis­ted Re­pro­duc­tion Unit is the An­dro­logy La­bo­ra­tory. In this room, we carry out the eva­lua­tion of the fer­ti­le po­ten­tial of the male in ad­di­tion to the pre­pa­ra­tion of semen sam­ples for as­sis­ted re­pro­duc­tion treat­ments, ma­na­ge­ment of the sperm bank for pa­tients who wish to pre­ser­ve their fer­ti­lity or men...

This cour­se aims to bring the stu­dent clo­ser to the con­cept of the Cli­ni­cal Em­br­yo­logy La­bo­ra­tory. We will study the te­ch­ni­cal as­pects, phy­si­cal re­sour­ces, equip­ment, fun­ctio­nal as­pects, pro­ce­du­res, struc­tu­ral and or­ga­ni­za­tio­nal as­pects, and qua­lity ma­na­ge­ment.

This cour­se fo­cu­ses on the des­crip­tion of the basic con­cepts of mo­le­cu­lar sex, genes in­vol­ved in sex de­ter­mi­na­tion, and hor­mo­nes in­vol­ved in se­xual dif­fe­ren­tia­tion. These de­fi­ni­tions make it pos­si­ble to des­cri­be a set of pat­ho­lo­gies re­la­ted to ge­ne­tic or hor­mo­nal al­te­ra­tions that will give rise to po­ten­tial pa­tients of an as­sis­ted...

This course introduces the techniques necessary to obtain embryos in the laboratory with the use of different media that will have an effect on embryo development. In addition, we will learn to distinguish the different types of embryos according to their morphological quality from the first cleavages to the blastocyst stage.
