Keynote lecture . It is remarkable how the field of IVF has advanced over the years, from the introduction of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in 1990 and the first successful blastocyst embryo transfer in 1999 to the utilization of AI and automation in the laboratory.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” - Melody Beattie
