Dr Fabrizzio Horta is a medical reproductive scientist who started his career as a research Andrologist. He has been involved in IVF as a clinical Andrologist, clinical embryologist and lately as Scientific Supervisor of R&D. He has undertaken studies in Medical Science, Medicine, Master of Clinical Embryology and PhD studies at Monash University in Melbourne, including a fellowship in molecular and clinical Andrology as well as training in biomedical innovation and entrepreneurship.
He currently works at ��¼� lecturing for the master of reproductive medicine and developing research on biomarkers and non-invasive biomarkers of gamete and embryo quality, Infertility, Artificial Intelligence, reproductive genetics and technology innovation in Assisted Reproductive Technologies.

Additionally, he also consults as Scientific Advisor in reproductive genetics and innovation in assisted reproductive technologies.
