Una nueva técnica podría aumentar la probabilidad de éxito en la reproducción asistida (in Spanish)

La tecnología, que incluye diagnóstico por imagen e inteligencia artificial, clasifica la calidad de los embriones con más rapidez y el doble de precisión que los expertos humanos que usaban microscopía tradicional. La herramienta, bautizada como METAPHOR y probada en ratones, pretende aumentar la probabilidad de éxito en procesos de fecundación artificial.

Needed: ‘hands-on’ training to bridge Europe’s tech talent gap

One such successful ecosystem was described by Pablo Garcia Tello, section head for the development of new projects and initiatives at the EU office of high-energy physics lab CERN. There in Geneva, CERN’s IDEA Square training facility brings students into contact with emerging technologies – in imaging, detection, scanning and related fields – and gives […]
