Objectives

  1. This tutorial/laboratory will focus on human gametogenesis and fertilization.
  2. Discuss issues relating to human assisted conception and learn modern cutting-edge techniques in this field
  3. Have an opportunity to ask questions concerning practicalities, problems, ethical concerns and any other issues related to human fertilization
  4. The learning objectives are as follows:

Gametogenesis and the origins of aneuploidy; Oocyte maturation, sperm capacitation and fertilisation; Assisted fertilisation techniques and their eithical implications
