About the campus course
Healthcare is increasingly influenced by genomic technologies. These technologies have applications in rare diseases, but also in cancer, infectious diseases and pathology. One area, where the impact of the genomics revolution is particularly clear, is human reproduction. Genomic technologies are changing how we perform reproductive care as we speak. But even greater improvements are on the horizon.
The general goal of this campus course is to illuminate the importance of new technologies for enhancing current reproductive healthcare. Specific aims include:
- the state-of-the-art technologies for preconception, preimplantation, prenatal and neonatal care;
- innovative approaches that will be translated into the clinic in the near future;
- interactive discussions on the responsible implementation of new technologies, including ethical, legal and societal implications (ELSI).

Target audience course
This course is intended for specialists involved in reproductive medicine, including clinical geneticists, clinical embryologists, gynecologists, pediatricians (neonatologists), laboratory specialists clinical genetics, lab technicians, PhD students, post-doc researchers in the field of reproductive genetics, ethicists and social scientists. The design is aimed at (highly) skilled and educated professionals (i.e. master level and higher) and specialists (in training). Attendees should have a general interest in providing a better reproductive care through the development and implementation of new knowledge and innovative technologies.
Target audience workshop
Clinical laboratory specialists, technicians, PhD students, postdoc researchers involved in reproductive genetics, in particular PGT.
This is what participants say
"It was absolutely first class, in organization, in content and in delivery!"
Dr. Leslie Burnett,
Medical Laboratory Director at Virtus Genetics, and Conjoint Professor/Visiting Scientist at Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney, Australia
"The course exceeded my expectations by far; I dare to say that this was the most informative course/conference on reproductive medicine and genetics I attended last year. I would strongly recommend the course to colleagues and our team already blocked the scheduled dates in the agenda. Looking forward again to interactions on basics of reproductive medicine, over reprogenetics from chromosomal to the polygenic space to translational research."
Prof. Willem Verpoest,
Gynaecologist, full professor in reproductive medicine, Utrecht University Medical Centre
"Thank you for an excellent course. It was highly interesting, very well planned, and covered important and relevant topics. Credit to the organizers and all presenters. I hope I will be back."

3 good reasons to attend
After following the course, you will be able to:
- demonstrate what is new about new technologies and how they differ from traditional methods used in the current practice;
- describe intuitively how and why new technologies can lead to a better reproductive care;
- identify major methodological limitations and pitfalls encountered during the implementation of new technologies.
