Recently, the treatment of infertility has experienced a revolution, with the routine adoption of increasingly specialized molecular biological techniques and advanced methods for the manipulation of gametes and embryos. This textbook - inspired by the postgraduate degree program at the University of Oxford - guides students through the multidisciplinary syllabus essential to ART laboratory practice, from basic culture techniques and micromanipulation to laboratory management and quality assurance, and from endocrinology to molecular biology and research methods. Written for all levels of IVF practitioners, reproductive biologists and technologists involved in human reproductive science, it can be used as a reference manual for all IVF labs and as a textbook by undergraduates, advanced students, scientists and professionals involved in gamete, embryo or stem cell biology. 410 0$aCambridge medicine (Series) 606 $aHuman reproductive technology 606 $aReproduction 606 $aInfertility 615 0$aHuman reproductive technology. 615 0$aReproduction. 615 0$aInfertility. 676 $a612.6/4018 702 $aCoward$b Kevin$f1969- 702 $aWells$b Dagan 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787769703321 996 $aTextbook of clinical embryology$93677394 997 $aUNINA
