2014 Annual conference in reproductive medicine - Implantation: Opening the black box

Aims

Download Final Programme and Abstracts

Since its initiation the results of IVF treatment have greatly improved.This  can  primarily  be  attributed  to  advances  in  ovarian  stimulation regimens  and  embryological  techniques.  However  a  plateau  in  the success  of  IVF  has  been  observed  in  recent  times;  one  of  the  main challenges has been maximising the chances of embryo implantation. Until recently there has been less emphasis on the biological processes involved in human embryo implantation, it has been aptly termed the “black box” of ART. Researchers have endeavoured to unravel the key aspects  of  implantation  by  studying  the  various  endometrial, immunological, genomic and embryological facets. The ultimate aim is to open the “black box” and inform clinicians and embryologists on the strategies which will translate to patient success.

This  live  educational  conference  will  introduce  approaches  and technologies  that  can  be  used  to  improve  outcomes  and  will  be supported by lively discussion and debate.

Learning objectives

By attending the live educational conference learners will:

• Acquire knowledge of the key biological aspects of human embryo implantation
• Gain enhanced understanding of the current advanced techniques to maximise implantation
• Be able to apply current evidence-based recommendations to achieve the best outcomes from ART

Target audience

This live educational conference is targeted at clinicians and biologists working  in  ART  who  wish  to  update  their  knowledge  of  advanced techniques and scientific innovation.
