WHAT IS CLINICAL EMBRYOLOGY? 
Embryology is the science that deals with the development and growth of an 
individual before birth. It begins with fertilization of an oocyte (ovum) by a sperm 
and culminates with the birth of the baby.
Clinical Embryology is a stream of biology which mainly focuses on the study of 
fertilisation of eggs and the healthy development of the embryos. Specialised 
persons working in the field of Clinical Embryology are known as embryologists. An 
embryologist focuses on the creation of embryos outside the mother’s womb 
(Embryology Laboratory) with the help of sperm and eggs. Therefore, they play a 
very critical role in the lives of couples devoid with naturally conceiving abilities. In 
a country, like India, where a massive population has been facing issues like 
infertility, embryologists are often considered as life-savers for families and 
couples. Eminent medical institutions and organisations have been offering 
multiple courses in Clinical Embryology course to help raise exceptional medical 
practitioners for the future.
EMBRYOLOGY COURSE AND ITS SCOPE 
Since the birth of the first test-tube baby (Louise Brown born in Manchester, England on 25th July 1978) and the first test 
tube baby of India “Durga” born in Culcutta, West Bengal on 3rd October 1978) through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), IVF 
centers have mushroomed around the world. Although, infertility affects about 15-20% of married couples and it is a 
huge social problem in many countries. In India alone, there are more than 2000 IVF centers to treat infertile couples and 
this number would increase multiple folds in coming years.
At the moment, there is a huge shortage of in-house embryologists. The exponential growth of IVF centers has 
necessitated the need for qualified embryologists. The course “Clinical Embryology” has been designed to meet the 
shortage of qualified embryologists and proposed regulatory requirements of ART Bill 2022 of Govt. of India and Indian 
Council of Medical research (ICMR). The course offers theoretical as well as Hands-on practical knowledge in 
Reproductive biology, Andrology, basic and advanced embryology, reproductive genetics & Counselling, infertility 
management and ART techniques at the master’s as well as PG Diploma level. After completing the course students will 
be equipped with sound technical knowledge of embryology & genetics and they will be ready to work in any advanced 
IVF center.
Patrick Steptoe and Robert G Edwards Dr. Subhas Mukhopadhyay and “Durga” the first Test Tube 
pioneered the development of the technique of in vitro baby in India, born in 3rd October 1978, in Culcutta, West 
fertilization. Louise Brown is the first test tube baby born in Bengal.
25th July, 1978., in Manchester, England, UK.
