Laboratory Team
Behind every IVF cycle is a team of embryologists and laboratory specialists who care for your eggs, sperm, and embryos at every step — working inside our Troy, Michigan clinic and supporting individuals and families across the state since 2006.
The team caring for your eggs and embryos
From the moment your eggs are retrieved through fertilization, embryo development, and preservation, our embryology and andrology team handles the science behind your treatment plan. The laboratory sits inside our Troy, Michigan clinic, so your eggs, sperm, and embryos never travel to a separate facility — and every step follows strict identification and chain-of-custody procedures. Here is who works behind the scenes.
Embryologists
Our embryologists care for your eggs after retrieval and support them through fertilization and several days of embryo development in a carefully controlled environment.
Andrology Specialists
Our andrology specialists handle the laboratory work involving sperm, including semen analysis and the preparation steps that support fertilization through IVF, ICSI, or IUI.
Laboratory Technologists
Our laboratory technologists run daily analyses, keep every specimen carefully tracked, and help the lab run smoothly from one cycle to the next.
Cryopreservation & Storage
Using vitrification, our team preserves eggs, sperm, and embryos and stores them in continuously monitored on-site cryostorage until they are needed.
