GFI Symposium 2014
Dr. Diego EZCURRA
My Introduction
There are so many things that can be improved in the IVF process to maximize the
chances of patients to have the baby of their dreams… so many...
Even after more than 30 years of experience and evolution in protocols of stimulation,
gametes and embryo technologies, improvements in laboratory equipment’s and total
quality management, we are still limited in the chances of improving take home baby
rate. Part of the issue is related with the lack of validated objective biomarkers to help
us define the right treatment for the right patient, define the most viable gametes, the
embryos with the highest implantation potential and finally the status of receptivity of the
endometrium before transfer.
At Merck Serono we strive for continuous improvement in science and innovation and
that is what GFI is all about, work in collaboration with the brightest and greatest minds
in fertility to increase the chances of patients to have a baby.
We feel extremely proud and excited with the possibility of introducing at this
symposium some of the most exciting technologies under development by GFI
investigators from around the world.
