Vik Reddy, Senior Embryologist and Clinical Informatics Specialist

More than 20 years in Assisted Reproductive Technology. I am a senior embryologist with dual board certifications as a Technical Supervisor (TS) in both Embryology and Andrology, awarded by the American Board of Bioanalysis (ABB).

Fifteen years at Stanford University Medical Center. I performed thousands of IVF procedures, led the IVF lab's CAP accreditation efforts, trained the next generation of embryologists, and served as President of the Northern California Association of Reproductive Biologists.

Three Master's degrees across science and health information. My academic training spans Embryology, Bioethics, Biotechnology, Religious Studies and Clinical Informatics. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Embryology (Monash University), a Master's degree in Biotechnology (University of Queensland), and a Master's degree in Clinical Informatics (Duke University).

Most patients never get to see the IVF lab work that happens during IVF or fertility preservation, even though it is the part of treatment they spend days waiting to hear about.

That is what I wanted Embryo Care Insights to address, from the perspective of someone who has spent two decades working directly with eggs, sperm & embryos.
