Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that the 5th Congress on Controversies in Preconception, Preimplantation and Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis (CoGEN) will take place on November 01-03, 2018 in Paris, France.

Following the success of last year’s joint collaboration between the Congress on Controversies in Preconception, preimplantation and prenatal genetic diagnosis (CoGEN) and the Ovarian Club Meeting (OC), the CoGEN Congress and OC meeting will take place in parallel this year as well. Read more >
