This masterclass focuses on the evolution of PGT methodologies, overcoming challenges like early mosaicism and technological limitations through advancements such as trophectoderm biopsy. It offers a comprehensive understanding of PGT, covering methodologies, applications (including PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR), and recent advancements. Expert-led sessions and panel discussions delve into controversial topics, providing insights into PGTβs transformative potential. Additionally, hands-on training on biopsy techniques is provided, exploring their advantages and considerations in clinical practice.
Date: Thursday β Friday, 3 β 4 October 2024

Participated at iffs 2023, was part of two wonderful panel discussions on IUI and PGT. The PGT panel was specially memorable as I got the opportunity to share the stage with Joe Leigh Simpson and Svetlana Rechitsky. We also had an ISAR symposium on recurrent Δ°VF failures which was very well received. Loved catching up with friends specially Achilleas from . Missed meeting . Loved Athens now back to work.

What an extremely fulfilling week, happy to announce that Iβll be chairing the ASPIRE SIG for embryology and I look forward to interacting with all of you in all the programs that weβre planning to roll out soon.
KPI's are absolutely essential in running a Lab efficiently. Here's a short class that we recently had with Dr. Keshav Malhotra on how to calculate and use KPIs in a lab.
Chromosome testing strategies, such as preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), improve initial IVF outcomes by avoiding transfer of aneuploid embryos in morphology-based selection practices. Chromosome mosaicism has been observed commonly although usually in only a minority of embryos. Sensitive technologies such as array CGH and NGS based methods can variably distinguish uniform aneuploidies (affecting all cells in the biopsy) from mosaic aneuploidies (affecting only some of the cells in the biopsy). At the blastocyst stage, the incidence of reported mosaicism using NGS methods is highly variable amongst clinics, ranging from as low as 2% to as high as 40% with the vast majority of clinics reporting between 5-15% depending on age group being investigated (Fragouli et al., 2019; Munne et al., 2016; Rodrigo et al., 2020; Ruttanajit et al., 2016). A consistent high incidence of mosaic embryos in a selected clinic may be related to predominant patient age group, clinical treatment and/or specific embryology practices (Fragouli et al., 2019) while a high level of apparent mosaicism across all referral clinics may be indicative of poorer testing laboratory practices. Circumstantial evidence is emerging that suggests that NGS and associated data analysis pipelines used to measure chromosome copy number may at times incorrectly indicate mosaicism (Fragouli et al., 2019; Marin et al., 2021). Theoretically, mosaicism estimates could be exaggerated by the following:
(i) Poor biopsy technique
(ii) Poor sample handling/transport
(iii) Sub-optimal DNA amplification and library construction
(iv) Choice of algorithms used for normalizing the chromosome mapping bins
More to follow..
A look inside our Lab !! 25 years since the birth of utsav a lot has changed, we have the latest gadgets and gizmos in the lab to help differt patient profiles in their quest to achieve a pregnancy.

There are so many factors determining embryonic arrest. Whenever we face embryonic arrest it is imperative that we try and identify the reasons behind it. The Stage of embryo at the time of arrest can give us clues to what could have gone wrong. Here is a summary of some of the factors. Comment on this post and add to the list.
