FREE TRAINING
Training is available at our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities in Istanbul and London. This training includes both biopsy and cell spreading or cell tubing training with hands-on experience in both steps prior to returning to your lab. Once trained, we encourage our collaborators to practice the skills learned during training and send practice samples to our lab prior to your first clinical case. This final step allows collaborators to become very comfortable with the procedure prior to working with patient samples.
OPEN 7 DAYS/WEEK, 365 DAYS/YEAR
The PGD lab at GENOMA is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We are available to receive your specimens on weekends and all holidays. Turn-around time is always approximately 24 hours from receipt of samples.
BOARD-CERTIFIED GENETIC SUPPORT
The PGD lab at GENOMA is supported by a board-certified geneticist, Dr. Marina BALDI, PhD, and a great team of board-certified genetic counselors. Our genetic counselors works with our PGD program to counsel ART patients and physicians in the finer points of this very intricate process. Collaborating centers can set-up a one-hour counseling session with our PGD genetic counselors to go over, in detail, the process and the pros and cons of testing.
