This book is a novel and unique manual for the operation of assisted reproductive technology laboratories. The author jumped out of the traditional textbook-style explanation frame, from the perspective of embryologists, used vivid and interesting language to describe the most controversial topics in the basic operation of assisted reproductive laboratories today, as well as various aspects that should be paid attention to, and put forward Brand new solutions.
Gábor Vajta
During his (far too) long life, Gábor Vajta has obtained an MD, PhD and DSc degree; 4 past professorships on 3 continents; but failed to get a single scientific award or any position in any scientific society. He is author of 151 publications with >15,000 citations; 6 books and approx. 10 book chapters. He is inventor of a number of new techniques including the Open Pulled Straw (OPS) vitrification, Handmade Cloning (HMC), and Well of the Well (WOW) system; resulting in six, mostly unproductive patent applications. He was a servant of big institutions in Europe, America, Asia and Australia for 34 years; since 2008, he has been a free man, a freelance consultant all around the globe. He is co-founder and CSO of VitaVitro Biotech Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China. Gábor Vajta lives now in Cairns, Queensland, Australia, but (before and after COVID) spends half of the year in different animal and human embryology laboratories on five continents.
Zoltán Macháty
Zoltán Macháty obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1993. The objective of his research is to improve reproductive efficiency in domestic animals by understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate egg activation and early embryonic development. He is author or co-author of 86 papers, 97 research abstracts, 7 book chapters, and has submitted 2 patent applications. Since 2003, Zoltan Machaty has been working at the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana, USA), where he has a research and teaching appointment.
