1st Biomarker Meeting in Reproductive Medicine

30 Mar 2012 - 31 Mar 2012
Valencia,Spain

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The aim of the meeting is to provide the Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART) community an update of the fast approaching novel technologies that may allow us to improve our assessment using biomarkers of the reproductive potential of gametes, embryos, and endometrium.

The participants will be updated on the rapidly developing diagnostic technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) which may help us better assess ovarian reserve, gametes, embryos and endometrium at the four basic levels of cell biology: the DNA, RNA, protein and metabolites. The meeting will examine how we can assess the embryo for alterations in genome or transcriptome that may be associated with abnormal development. The meeting will also examine how the surrounding environment of the embryo can be assessed for proteins and metabolites produced by individual embryos and how these relate to viability. The invasive and non-invasive diagnostic possibilities of the maternal endometrium will be also considered.

Finally, the clinical applicability of the – “omics” techniques will be presented.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the beautiful city of Valencia.
