It affects more than two million women in Africa and Asia and leads to constant leakage of blood, urine, and stool, causing pain, infection, social ostracization, and physical isolation. Current treatment through reconstructive surgery...
OvaVasc: Enhanced Ovarian Tissue Engraftment for Fertility
Nearly 80% of women who survive cancer go on to struggle with fertility. Our team is developing an innovative approach using ovarian tissue cryopreservation: freezing and storing ovarian tissue to preserve fertility potential. By combining patient-derived cells and innovative techniques, we are accelerating tissue engraftment, boosting pregnancy rates, and preserving vital ovarian function. Our multidisciplinary...
