Our Program
We are hosting webinars, roundtables, and other activities to inform and offer tools to those who make up the fertility community, including physicians, embryologists, nurses, and any members of the IVF Community. Our program entails presenting a regular weekly series of virtual meetings that features globally renowned experts who are collaborating with Progenesis Academy on Wednesdays at 3 pm Pacific Time.
Watch the exclusive interview of Louis Brown, the World’s First IVF Baby by Progenesis Academy. Rolling back the history: it took a brilliant scientist, a great physician, and two people who were willing to undergo a non-validated procedure (IVF/fertilization) in hope of having a baby. That is how assisted reproduction technology started.
