Ongoing Research Projects
Ongoing Research Projects:
1, Somatic Cell Haploidization: To develop method obtaining artificial gametes for infertile patients where sperm or egg are absent (or their quality is too poor to be used for reproduction).
2, Lysed Cell Removal (LCR) from frozen-thawed cleavage-stage embryos: To improve embryo viability and to increase pregnancy rates in Cryo Embryo Transfer cycles.
3, Implementation of Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) in Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer cycles: To extend the potential use of PGD from fresh embryo transfers to cryopreserved embryos.
4, Prospective study on rHuPH20: Recombinant human hyaluronidaze enzyme (Cumulase) is demonstrated to be a superior alternative of the earlier used, animal derived product to decumulate oocytes for the ICSI procedure.
5, Diagnostic value of Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) in young, infertile patients: To identify possible genetic causes of infertility related to embryos in patients younger than 35 years old.
6, PICSI sperm select dish: To explore the possible benefit of PICSI dish for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure where sperm is selected using a naturally occurring physiological receptor (Hyaluronan, HA), in addition to the traditional sperm selection procedures.
7, Oocyte cryopreservation: To preserve fertility potential of women who have medical indication.
