Embryology laboratoryGraduate of the Faculty of Biology and Earth Sciences at Jagiellonian University in Krakow (major: biology). In 2021, she received a PhD in biological sciences. Author of numerous scientific publications, she regularly participates in courses and trainings in embryology and cell biology.
At the Gyncentrum clinic, she performs embryological procedures, including preparation of oocytes for fertilization, performance of ICSI, IMSI, PICSI procedures, embryo culture monitoring and classification, as well as embryo transfer (ET, KET), cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos. In addition, she collects material (blastomeres/ trophoectoderm) for PGT-A testing, provides embryological consultations, and prepares medical records.
