Description

Infertility, or the inability to conceive a child, is a medical condition recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that causes serious health problems for the women affected, as well as significant epidemiological and sociological repercussions for society. It is estimated that this pathology affects 15% of couples worldwide, and its incidence is on the rise.

The aim of our activity is to promote and initiate new lines of research that allow us to advance in the knowledge of reproductive medicine, improving assisted reproduction treatments, increasing their success rates and establishing new techniques for the preservation of male fertility.

Goals CT
  • Using oxidative stress as a biomarker of embryo viability in human IVF
  • Creation of artificial gametes by germline reprogramming from human somatic cells
Research lines
  • Male infertility

    Our study must be considered an initial attempt to create an in vitro model for the direct conversion of somatic cells from patients with gamete-alterations production into germ cells in vitro, opening the field to discover new cell therapies to treat them in the future.

  • Embryo viability

    Use of Oxidative stress as a biomarker for embryo viability in human IVF and its use as an additional marker to the existing morphokinetic algorithms provided by time-lapse.
