Clinical Research (latest research)

Clinical research is an important component of the Center’s mission. Our clinical and laboratory staffs have initiated several research studies to answer many clinical questions. These studies help expand the scientific knowledge base and provide new technology to patients. Our clinical findings have been published in national journals and have played a role in advancing new knowledge to other Reproductive Medicine practices throughout the country. We are able to conduct this research only through the cooperation of our patients who are willing to participate in these studies. We dedicate all this advanced reproduction knowledge to them.

Current Research Being Done at the Center

Here are some of the exciting research projects taking place at the Center:

If you’re planning IVF with PGT, you may be eligible for a study at the Center for Advanced Reproductive Services.

Study Focus:
Does a short (1-hour) abstinence period before sperm collection improve embryo quality and chromosomal normalcy?

You May Qualify If You:

  • Are 18–42 years old
  • Are planning IVF with PGT
  • Can provide (or partner can provide) two sperm samples on egg retrieval day

Possible Benefits:

  • More or higher-quality embryos (not guaranteed)

In our commitment to innovation in the treatment of infertility, The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services has partnered with Celmatix to create an ambitious research registry and repository that will help us understand the genetic factors that underlie both fertility potential and infertility. Your contribution to this national registry will help us get one step closer to understanding the drivers of fertility potential and infertility, and could help millions of women just like you.

To participate in this research, you will be asked to donate a blood sample during a routine blood draw and allow researchers to review your and possibly your partner’s relevant medical information. This information will be added to a registry that will be used to help discover genetic factors associated with a woman’s fertility.

Any woman between the ages of 18-45 may be eligible to participate, including those who are seeking fertility preservation and/or help conceiving. Enrollment in this study is voluntary and participation will come at no additional cost. If you are interested in participating or learning more, please speak with a member of the CARS clinical staff or call our research coordinator Dr. Evelyn Neuber at 844-467-3483 Ext: 8019 or M. Scott Yohe at 844-467-3483 Ext:8033.
