Description

In this research, we will develop an easy ICSI system that enables ICSI without the help of embryologists, by accelerating the macro-micro interaction technique developed in the PRESTO research. The system is expected to solve the shortage of embryologists, which has become a major issue with the increasing demand for assisted reproductive technology. We will also evaluate development using animal embryos as a preclinical test, aiming for early social implementation of the developed technology.
