World IVF Day is celebrated every year on 25th July to recognise the advances made in fertility medicine since the first successful birth resulting from IVF in 1978.
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of World IVF Day, and to commemorate the 45th birthday of the first IVF baby Louise Brown, we have assembled some of our most impactful articles on IVF and assisted reproductive technology.
AI has the potential to revolutionize the field of IVF by improving the accuracy of embryo selection, personalizing treatment plans, and developing new technologies. This article collection, edited by Dr Zaher Merhi & Dr Marco Mouanness aims to further research on the benefits and limitations of AI in IVF, and to help ensure that its use is ethical and safe.
Read the recent blog post by Section Editor Dr Tarun Jain on the progresses made in IVF research, as well as an inspiring message for the future.
