IVF Laboratory – Embryology
Our medical team covers an extensive range of specialties, providing patients with modern, personalized care based on the latest medical standards.
Where life begins: the essential role of embryology
Embryology is where the process of achieving a pregnancy truly begins. The laboratory is where fertilization, development, and embryo selection take place, all under strictly controlled conditions. This is where critical decisions are made that influence the real chances of success for couples undergoing IVF treatment.
IVF Laboratory at Metropolitan Hospital
Excellence in embryology and advanced reproductive technology.
The IVF laboratory at Metropolitan Hospital, operated by Genesis Athens, is the largest assisted human reproduction center in Romania and Southeastern Europe. Here it activates the largest team of embryologists in the country, with over 25 years of cumulative experience in treating infertility and in vitro fertilization procedures.
Our team actively participates in subsidized national IVF programs, providing expanded access to high-performance treatments for couples who want a child.
In the IVF laboratory, every step is managed under controlled, carefully monitored conditions — from fertilization and embryo culture, to embryo selection and cryopreservation. We constantly invest in modern equipment to recreate an „artificial uterus,” an ideal environment in which embryos can develop to the blastocyst stage (day 5–6).
