Research at Monash IVF
Only with your help can we continually refine our science and technology so that hopeful parents can have even better chances of success.
Contribute to our research
You could be invited to participate in one of the studies we conduct each year. Our recruitment staff may contact you by email or by phone during your treatment.
Patients who get involved in research studies can:
- Help us understand the reasons behind their fertility challenges
- Contribute to the advancement of reproductive science
- Help other hopeful parents successfully start their families
There are several ways you can be involved, from completing questionnaires to donating blood samples, tissue samples or unused gametes. Importantly, participation is voluntary, you can withdraw at any time, and your treatment and care will not be impacted.
Our specialist fertility doctors, professional staff and talented researchers at Monash IVF dedicate themselves to improving the patient experience and achieving the best outcomes.
As a leader in innovative treatments and technology, Monash IVF may seek your involvement in research where you can make a difference to other people's lives.
