About us
The evaluation of the quality of fresh or cryopreserved male semen samples is a challenge for the agro-industry of artificial insemination of livestock, species conservation programs, as well as in the clinic for medically assisted reproduction technologies (ART). With 25 years of expertise in mammalian spermiology, a team from iGReD is launching a service and R&D platform, the EVALSEM platform.
The activities of the platform aim mainly to develop a set of tests to assess the structural and functional quality of sperm including an evaluation of the integrity of the paternal genetic heritage. It also aims to work on the development of new sperm handling and conservation media, as well as on the development of non-invasive therapeutic approaches for the restoration (human) as well as the control (immunocontraception of pest-rodents) of fertility.
