Professional background
Li Xuefu began laboratory work in assisted reproduction in 2002 and research in single-gene disorders in 2004. He received a master’s degree in cell biology from Jilin University in 2010.
He has undertaken training in preimplantation genetic diagnosis, including embryo and blastocyst sampling and testing. He joined INCITA in 2018. His laboratory skills include IVF, ICSI, embryo and egg vitrification and warming, and in vitro maturation.
Training in embryo genetic testing
He undertook further training at the reproductive center of Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital and attended preimplantation genetic diagnosis courses at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, CITIC-Xiangya and Shandong University.
This training included sampling of cleavage-stage embryos and blastocysts and the associated testing and analysis techniques.
Laboratory techniques
His experience includes embryo genetic diagnosis and screening, ICSI, conventional IVF–embryo transfer, embryo vitrification and warming, egg freezing and warming, and in vitro maturation.
He began research in single-gene disorders in 2004, completed a master’s degree in cell biology in 2010 and became a senior laboratory technical team member in 2013 before joining INCITA in 2018.
