Advancing Fertility Care Through Research: Inception Fertility Celebrates First Year of The Inception Research Institute

The Inception Research Institute continues forging the path of advanced reproductive technologies
through investments in groundbreaking studies and addressing the industry's pressing needs and challenges

HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inception Fertility™, the largest provider of comprehensive fertility and support services in North America, celebrates the first anniversary of the Inception Research Institute, an organization within the Inception ecosystem dedicated to advancing all aspects of fertility care through groundbreaking research and strategic partnerships.

Established in 2022, the Inception Research Institute elevates the field of reproductive medicine by addressing the industry's most urgent needs, including cutting-edge advances in patient care through pharmacological innovations and device development, improving access to care, professional development and advancement, and innovative studies which investigate the relationships between treatment success and controllable entities such as lifestyle habits and emotional health.

The Inception Research Institute also supports the clinical research of The Prelude Network™ (Prelude), Inception's clinical network of top-tier fertility practices across North America, by providing centralized services such as IRB applications, contract review, and recruitment support. A significant number of Prelude's research studies have been published in leading medical journals, including a breakthrough 15-year study on egg freezing. These research studies have been presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)'s and the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)'s annual scientific congresses, as well as publications in the leading peer-reviewed medical journals.

"We know that the best way to improve patient care is through research, and the need for quality reproductive care will continue to grow, so in order for the industry to meet the inevitable increase in cutting-edge science, we have to invest in understanding and improving each part of the fertility process, from the science of reproductive medicine to the patient journey," said Alice Domar, PhD, Chief Compassion Officer at Inception, and the Director of the Inception Research Institute. "The Inception Research Institute proudly invests in those efforts that we know will strengthen all aspects of fertility care, so that we can increase successful outcomes for future aspiring parents."

Investment in fertility studies is one component of reaching the organization's goals and goes beyond technology research to include all aspects of the patient's journey. Current studies include looking at how AI can improve treatment outcomes, investigating the impact of physiological manifestations of stress on IVF cycle outcome, investigating how to improve the patient-centered care experience, as well as FDA pharma and device trials.
