Webinar: 'Unveiling the Impact of the Endometrial Microbiome: why testing the reproductive tract microbiota is crucial in infertility treatment'
Pathogenic bacteria are present in the endometrium of 30% of infertile women. By testing the endometrial microbiome, these bacteria can be identified and effectively treated. Research by Prof. Carlos Simón’s team has demonstrated that restoring a healthy microbiome is crucial for the success of fertility treatments.

Webinar: 'EMBRACE: what to expect from embryo viability and clinical outcomes in a niPGT-A program'
Dr. Sakkas explains that as the blastocyst develops, it actively releases DNA into the culture media, with both the quantity and quality of the DNA likely increasing between days 5 and 6. His most recent publication demonstrates that extending embryo culture to day 6 for niPGT-A screening does not compromise embryo viability or affect pregnancy outcomes, making it a safe alternative for patients who wish to avoid embryo biopsy while still pursuing chromosomal testing.
