clinical embryologist

A clinical embryologist is a specialized scientist who works in fertility clinics, focusing on the laboratory handling of eggs, sperm, and embryos. They perform procedures like fertilization, embryo culture, and cryopreservation (freezing). Their role is critical in assisted reproductive technologies such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), ensuring that gametes and embryos are properly handled, monitored, and prepared for implantation. They use advanced laboratory techniques and work closely with doctors to help couples conceive. Their expertise contributes directly to the success of fertility treatments and the health of developing embryos.
