  • Assess fertilization and zygote quality following insemination
  • Perform oocyte denudation and ICSI insemination
  • Perform embryo biopsies for preimplantation genetic testing
  • Assist with TBSA, PESA, TESA, and TESE collections
  • Accurately document procedures and results in ARTworks

  • Ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team
  • Ability to work in a high standard, stressful environment
  • Ability to communicate accurately and concisely
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
