Description of the research topic:

Infertility in the developed world affects a relatively high percentage of the mature population leading to an increasing need to the use of assisted reproductive technologies, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). The rate of successful embryo implantations however is surprisingly low, not more than the 30% of the total number of IVF experiments. Worldwide huge efforts are made to select the possibly most viable embryos using morphological or more recently molecular markers to increase the success rate of IVF experiments. The issue is that the analysis should be completely non-invasive as due to ethical reasons only the cell culture medium surrounding the embryo during the first few day of its development can be experimented. The aim of the research is to find any candidate molecules in the embryo culturing media to assess viability prior the transfer.
