The course, coordinated by Prof. José Inzunza, aims to teach the basic and applied aspects of reproductive biology, focusing on assisted reproduction techniques. In addition, students undertake practical sessions in micromanipulation, which is routinely used in human reproduction laboratories.
During her presentation, Dr Altmäe explained the molecular aspects to be taken into account to ensure embryo implantation. Endometrial receptivity is one of Signe’s main areas of research, which, when combined with innovative techniques and omics sciences, offers a comprehensive overview of the medical and scientific challenges of pregnancy.
The course also features Dr Lusine Aghajanova from Stanford University, a researcher on the ENDORE Project led by Signe.
