Forskning

En viktig grundpelare i Stockholm IVFs verksamhet är anknytningen till forskningen.
Många av våra läkare och embryologer är antingen disputerade (har erhållit Med Dr examen) inom Reproduktionsmedicin eller bedriver doktorandarbete mot Med Dr examen. Vi har forskningssamarbete med IVF-enheterna vid internationella ledande kliniker såsom vid Harvard Medical School, Yale University, Cleveland Clinic och Tokyo University.
