Nibhash Kumar: Can HELIOS Enhance Embryo Development and Improve IVF Outcomes?
Nibhash Kumar, Junior Embryologist and Quality Manager at Indira IVF Group, shared on LinkedIn:
“Researchers at the Columbia University Fertility Center have designed and developed a novel technology that delivers precisely controlled pulses of near-infrared light to human embryos during early development.
The team has launched a first-of-its-kind randomized clinical trial to determine whether the system, called HELIOS (Human Embryo Illumination System), can enhance embryo development and improve IVF outcomes.
‘Early embryo development is one of the most energy-intensive stages of life,’ says Zev Williams, director of the Columbia University Fertility Center and principal investigator of the trial.
‘This trial will test whether precisely timed, low-energy light can safely support embryo development and potentially improve IVF success.’ “
