As a key player in the field of fertility treatment, we feel that it is our responsibility to support innovation and scientific development. Improving people&rsquo;s access to fertility treatment worldwide, establishing a clear legal framework, governing parental rights, and increasing awareness of the importance of having children at an earlier stage are all areas of great importance to Cryos. We tend to these areas of importance through, for example, <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/professional/research/cryos-symposium/" target="_top">the Cryos Symposium</a> and scientific research. Further down, you will find the latest studies that Cryos has conducted or taken part in conducting. <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/professional/about-us/vision-mission-values/" target="_top">Read more about the mission, vision, and values of Cryos</a>.

Text: After image Who is the Cryos scientific team?

Introducing the scientific team at Cryos - a group of dedicated and curious researchers working to advance the field of human reproduction. The scientific team is dedicated to carrying out scientific research on behalf of Cryos and consists of experts in various scientific disciplines. As Cryos is an international company, keeping a global perspective on projects and engaging with several external and internal collaborators is essential. The team strives to collaborate with all relevant internal resources to bring the best minds to the table. We turn to our colleagues for knowledge since a study cannot come to life without involving all other departments of Cryos. Cryos&rsquo; goal is to maintain the position as scientific leader and to use our resources to benefit everyone connected to the field of fertility treatment. We believe in pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and embracing collaboration to achieve our goals. That is why we work with clinics, fertility professionals, and scientific groups globally. Knowledge thrives best when shared, and we are always interested in expanding our scientific network. We would be thrilled to do our next scientific research project with you. If you have a request or an idea for our next scientific study, please <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/professional/about-us/contact/" target="_top">contact us</a> with your ideas.
