Alan Murray: The Case for Automation in IVF Is Being Made in the Open
Alan Murray, Founder and CEO at Conceivable Life Sciences, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Most conversations about automating IVF happen in one of two rooms. In a clinic, an embryologist asks whether a machine can really do what their hands do. In an investor meeting, the question is simply whether any of it works.
The evidence that answers both sits in neither. It lives in our validation studies, our lab data, and the decks we walk people through. So we started publishing it.
The Case for Automation in IVF is the argument we’d make privately in either room, or to a clinic director, made in the open instead. Built on evidence rather than volume. One case at a time.
Ten parts in all. Three are now live: a look at why density gradient centrifugation persists as the default in sperm preparation despite better alternatives, how little of a cycle a manual IVF lab actually documents, and how a single sperm gets selected for fertilisation.
Seven more to come, every two weeks.
The first three are in one place on our Substack, Conceivable Life Sciences. Subscribe and the rest arrive as they publish.
Link in comments.”
