FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Genea Biomedx, a global leader in assisted reproductive technology (ART), and Gattaca Genomics, a trailblazer in reproductive health offering cutting-edge genetic testing to empower patients in their family planning journey, are excited to announce a new partnership aimed at advancing success rates for in vitro fertilization (IVF). This collaboration supports a landmark Institutional Review Board-approved study integrating Genea Biomedx's cutting-edge time-lapse imaging technology with Gattaca Genomics' genetic testing expertise. Together, the two companies will apply learned insight that will significantly improve embryo selection in IVF and enhance clinical outcomes for patients worldwide.
As part of the Agreement, Genea Biomedx will provide exclusively its state-of-the-art Geri® time-lapse incubators to select IVF clinics participating in the study. These incubators allow for continuous, real-time monitoring of embryo development, ensuring optimal culture conditions and gathering invaluable data. This innovative approach is designed to deepen the understanding of how embryo development correlates with aneuploidy—a genetic condition caused by an abnormal number of chromosomes that can impact embryo viability.
The study, titled "Embryo Assessment Utilizing Time-lapse Imaging in Conjunction With Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy With Next-Generation Sequencing," will integrate Geri's high-resolution imaging with Gattaca Genomics' leading-edge genetic testing solutions. By combining their strengths, the companies aim to develop a comprehensive dataset that may redefine how healthy embryos are selected, potentially transforming IVF success rates and clinical outcomes.
Unlocking Clinical Potential in Clinics Globally
This partnership strengthens the scientific foundation of IVF treatments and highlights the substantial potential for Genea Biomedx and Gattaca Genomics. The collaboration opens new opportunities in the growing IVF market by uniting Genea Biomedx's technological innovations with Gattaca Genomics' genetic expertise. Around 100 IVF clinics globally will benefit from access to integrated solutions that can improve patient success rates and clinical efficiencies, further driving demand for Geri incubators and advanced genetic testing.
"This collaboration represents an exciting step forward in the science and business of IVF," said Marian Garriga, CEO of Genea Biomedx. "By joining forces, we provide fertility specialists with the advanced tools they need while tapping into a substantial market with potential for exponential growth."
Dr. Mari Mitrani, Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder at Gattaca Genomics, added: "This study could be a game-changer for couples struggling with infertility. By combining time-lapse imaging and genetic testing, we aim to provide experts with the insights to identify the most viable embryos, making IVF more successful."
A Global Opportunity for IVF Clinics
Genea Biomedx and Gattaca Genomics are inviting leading IVF clinics worldwide to participate in this groundbreaking study. Clinics that join the study will gain access to Geri time-lapse incubators and advanced genetic testing, contributing to a global dataset that will redefine embryo selection standards.
"This collaborative effort unites leading IVF clinics worldwide in a shared mission to improve patient care and success rates," said Dr. Tyl Taylor, Director of Genetic Services at Gattaca Genomics. "By providing the Geri incubator, Genea Biomedx is enabling us to collect high-quality data on embryo development and aneuploidy, helping us unlock valuable insights that will benefit countless families on their fertility journeys."
