Professor Themis Mantzavinos's technical expertise is reflected in translating cutting-edge reproductive technologies into reliable clinical applications.The IOL Reproductive Center under his leadership is one of the first clinical institutions in the European Union to receive formal approval to apply cytoplasmic transfer technology (i.e., the fourth generation of IVF technology). This technology aims to improve the activity of aging eggs by modifying the egg cytoplasm, providing a new solution for elderly women and poor egg quality. In addition, he also has deep attainments in technical fields such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD/PGS), which can effectively screen embryonic chromosomal abnormalities and monogenic inherited diseases
