IVF Bioscience Training Courses
Our IVF Bioscience Bovine IVP training courses are designed to provide a foundation in the skills and experience needed to establish a commercial IVF laboratory, as well as optimising transferable blastocyst rates in existing laboratories. Attendees will be trained in the techniques of Bovine IVF using the IVF Bioscience protocol and media suite.
Run by Dr Lotte Stroebech and her highly experienced team, the course will reinforce theoretical knowledge of bovine in vitro embryo production techniques with practical hands-on training in a highly focused learning environment.
