Ovarian Club XIV Meeting

Ovarian Club XIV (OC) Meeting: Building A Bridge Between Science And Clinical Practice is organized by CME Congresses and will be held from Nov 07 - 09, 2019 at The Westin Paris - Vendome, Paris, Ile-de-France, France.

Description:
Following the success of past years’ joint collaborations between the Ovarian Club meeting (OC) and the Congress on Controversies in Preconception, Preimplantation and Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis (CoGEN), the OC Meeting and CoGEN Congress will take place in conjunction this year as well.

Participants registered to one of these meetings will be granted full access to either meeting.

The Ovarian Club is a unique annual meeting that brings together leading experts to share knowledge and experience in all facets of ovarian function. The meeting is a gathering of scientists, clinicians and embryologists who have a common interest in oocyte and early embryo development and the implantation process. Past meetings have covered cutting-edge topics in areas such as:
• The oocyte and the fertilization process.
• Blastocyst formation and the factors that control and impact implantation.
• The oocyte and early-embryo metabolism, and the effect of maternal nutrition on adaptive embryo responses that lead to disease.

The 2019 meeting will address the challenge of bridging between science and clinical practice, focusing on ovarian function from oocyte recruitment to the stages of implantation and embryo development.

The Ovarian Club is a forum where researchers and clinicians present their latest studies and findings in an interactive platform, enabling open discussion with leading experts.

Main Topics:
• 40 years of IVF: Best practice with respect to outcome, based on accumulated outcome results
• Activated ovarian endothelial cells promote early follicular development and survival
• Advances in understanding the mechanisms regulating human oocyte activation and growth
• Chronic endometritis and endometriosis: how these two combine for altering endometrial receptivity?
• Comparative biology of oocyte aging
• Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation: new drugs, new technologies to whom?
• Critical overview of egg freezing methods
• Direct gamete differentiation from somatic cells?
• Disorganization of the germ cell pool leads to primary ovarian insufficiency
• DNA recombination during early embryo development
• Fertility preservation: oocytes, embryo and ovarian tissue
