Nashville, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ovation® Fertility teams are presenting three oral presentations and 10 poster presentations at the 2021 ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo, which takes place both virtually and in-person in Baltimore October 17-20, 2021. Additionally, Ovation scientists are leading interactive sessions and roundtable discussions at the annual event, where top experts in reproductive medicine discuss the latest in reproductive care.
“With a heavy everyday IVF lab workload, our team members have once again found time to pursue their research interests, gather and analyze data from across the Ovation nationwide network, and produce a tremendous number of excellent studies over the past year,” says Matthew “Tex” VerMilyea, PhD, HCLD/CC, Ovation’s vice president of scientific advancement. “Ovation’s mission has always been to advance the state of the art in IVF, and we are proud to support our outstanding lab teams as they strive to push the boundaries of excellence in the IVF lab.”
