1 Maria José de los Santos, Msc, Ph.D. Dr. Maria J. de los Santos started her career in 1991 in the IVF laboratory of IVI Valencia. She received her PhD in Biology from University of Valencia in 1996, and from she carried out her postdoctoral fellowship in Reproductive Immunology at Fearing Research Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, under the supervision of Dr. Deborah Anderson and Dr. Joseph Hill. She also worked as clinical embryologist at the Brigham and Women s Hospital under the direction of Dr. Catherine Racowsky. As a clinical ESHRE and ASEBIR Senior Clinical Embryologist and researcher her main focus is study embryo quality, embryo development and in vitro embryo culture conditions. Currently, she is the Director of the Clinical Embryology Laboratory at IVI Valencia and designated participant from Spanish Government for the 3 rd and 4 th edition of Guide to the Quality and Safety of Tissues and Cells for Human Application of the European Council. She has published over 40 original peer review articles in leading reproductive journals (Hum Reprod, Fertil & Steril, PLos One, etc.) and wrote than 20 book chapters. She has also participated as researcher in competitive projects funded by Generalitat Valenciana (IMPIVA) and Spanish Government (CDTI). Dr. De los Santos has been involved in teaching since his early career, imparting courses since Presently she is the Coordinator of two modules (The Clinical Embryology Laboratory and Improving Embryo Quality) from the Master's Degree in Biotechnology of Assisted Human Reproduction (former doctorate degree of the Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of University of Valencia School of Medicine) given by ADEIT since Memberships and Profesional Associations 1992-present Member of Sociedad Española de Infertilidad (SEF) 1993-present Member of ASEBIR Member of ESHRE Board Member of ASEBIR President of the Interest Group in Embryo Quality of ASEBIR Deputy of the Interest Group in Embryo Quality of ASEBIR Deputy Member of Special Interest Group in Embryology ESHRE Coordinator of Special Interest Group in Embryology ESHRE 2015-present Past -Coordinator of Special Interest Group in Embryology ESHRE 2015-preset Designated participant from Spanish Government for the 3 rd and 4 th edition of Guide to the Quality and Safety of Tissues and Cells for Human Application of the European Council Education and Training B.Sc.
