Dr. Azif Khan
Laboratory Manager

I am a doctor turned embryologist based in South India with more than 8 years of clinical experience, 3 years exclusively in ART. I did my MBBS (2002) from Govt. Medical College Hospital, Trivandrum, India and Masters (MCE 2008) from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

I am passionate about my work and believe that being a clinician-embryologist has enabled me in performing ART better.

I travel to other centres for establishing new IVF set up and directing IVF-ICSI cycles. I also extend my services to existing centres in troubleshooting and optimizing their IVF results.

Though vitrification is my chief area of interest, I might be interested in your ongoing quest. So feel free to contact me.
