Workshops on
Micromanipulation of gametes & Vitrification
Date: 21-25th August 2006
For further details contact: malerepromed@eth.net
For physicians and biologists who wish to learn more about Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Laser Assisted Hatching, we offer them a week long hands-on training course. Our course includes handling of oocytes for ICSI, assessment of spindle and relevant micromanipulation procedures, such as ICSI and assisted hatching using Laser System and spindle view.
Ample number of hamster/mouse oocytes will be provided for hands-on practice of micromanipulation.
Another attraction of the workshop is the TUNEL and Acridine orange based assessment of Human Sperm DNA fragmentation assays, ROS estimation by chemiluminiscence, CASA based sperm motility and morphology assessment.
Vitrification process is gaining importance in the field of ART. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about this novel technique under the supervision of Dr. Ingolf Nelson, Medicult, Denmark.
Workshop Faculty:
1. Dr. Ingolf Nielsen PhD, Denmark
2. Dr. Alex C Varghese, PhD, India
3. Dr. Shreyas Padgaonkar, M.D, India
The Weeklong Workshop will be followed by:
