Tissue Preservation. Past, Present, and Future in ART.

Join the webinar: Tissue Preservation: Past, Present, and Future in ART.

This open panel discussion will explore the evolving role of tissue preservation within Assisted Reproductive Technology. From the foundations of cryopreservation to cutting‑edge advances shaping the next decade, our experts will discuss current practices, challenges, and future possibilities. Attendees will be encouraged to join the conversation by asking questions.

Key Themes:

  • The current state of cryopreservation and vitrification
  • Regulatory and ethical considerations across regions
  • Lessons from large biorepositories and their relevance to gamete and embryo banks
  • Innovations such as nanowarming, automation, improved cryoprotectants and AI monitoring
  • Future directions: tissue, ovarian/testicular preservation, and long‑term fertility strategies

Matt Pettit, Chief Scientific Officer at IMT Matcher, and David O’Rourke, Founder of IVF Tribe, will open the session with an introduction to the landscape of tissue preservation in ART. They will introduce our expert panel and guide an engaging discussion that brings together diverse experiences from science, laboratory practice, and large-scale tissue management.
