Professional background
Peng Wenlin is INCITA’s Hospital Director and Chief Embryologist. His laboratory career includes reproductive centers in mainland China, Hong Kong, the United States and Macau.
His work includes conventional IVF, ICSI, embryo culture, cryopreservation and warming, as well as embryo biopsy for genetic testing. He has a particular interest in individualized culture approaches for patients with previous treatment failures or poor embryo development.
Experience with embryo genetic testing
He was among the early embryologists working with preimplantation genetic testing at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. His subsequent work in Hong Kong, the United States and Macau included embryo biopsy and the techniques previously described as PGS and PGD.
His experience includes the coordination of embryo culture, biopsy, freezing and warming. These procedures require laboratory management as well as hands-on micromanipulation skills.
In vitro maturation and cryopreservation
While leading laboratory work at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital between 2004 and 2006, his clinical work included successful use of in vitro maturation of immature eggs.
His laboratory development work has also included modifications to egg cryopreservation media and individualized culture approaches for patients with poor embryo development or repeated treatment failure.

Following laboratory leadership in Hong Kong and the United States, he was a founder and laboratory lead of the Macau medical center from 2014 to 2017. Since 2018 he has held leadership roles as a group director, Hospital Director and laboratory lead at INCITA in Cambodia.
