In this course, we will delve into the cutting-edge research and advanced technology in the field of fertility, combining professional knowledge with a fascinating educational experience.

In vitro fertilization (IVF), also known as 'test tube fertilization,' is a groundbreaking technique developed in Britain in the 1970s by doctors Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. The world's first 'test tube baby,' Louise Brown, was born in 1978, paving the way for extensive development in this field. Israel, as the fifth country in the world to recognize this technology, witnessed the birth of its first IVF baby, Romi Neumark, in 1982.

Today, IVF has become commonplace in the Western world, with nearly one percent of all births resulting from this technology. Israel, as a global leader in the field, offers not only a wide range of treatments but also unique accumulated knowledge.

Initially, IVF was used as a solution for fertility problems. However, with technological advancements and accumulation of knowledge, the technology now offers innovative benefits such as fertility preservation, preimplantation genetic testing, surrogacy, and even sex selection.

In our course, we will unveil the scientific and technological aspects behind the scenes of IVF. We will follow the precise laboratory process and early embryo development, even before their transfer to the uterus. We will explore the historical developmental stages of the technique and delve into the field's evolution and its various methods.

We will learn about the diverse protocols for hormonal stimulation, embryo culture techniques in the laboratory, various freezing and thawing methods, performing biopsies, and more. Additionally, we will discuss the ethical aspects associated with this technology.

The learning experience will be accompanied by authentic videos filmed in my professional laboratory, visually demonstrating processes such as embryo development, egg fertilization, and biopsy procedures.

I invite you to join this fascinating journey, which will teach you about the innovative technology of IVF while exposing you to a unique educational experience. Let's learn together about the 'windows to the future' of this revolutionary field of fertility.
