Na-Young Rho

Na-Young Rho obtained PhD in Reproductive Biology from the University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College, Canada. Na-Young has been working in the reproduction field for the past 10 years, gaining knowledge and skills in molecular biology and in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) techniques. Na-Young is highly experienced in all aspects of molecular biology, including single-oocyte qRT-PCR and RNA-sequencing. Further, she has conducted various experiments using micro-manipulation to perform intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), polar body and blastomere biopsy, microinjection, and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). She has experienced hands in handling oocytes and sperm leading to high success rates/development in in vitro fertilization. Na-Young is also experienced in ovarian tissue cryopreservation bith with slow freezing and vitrification. Na-Young’s current project is to decipher the mechanism underlying the accelerated loss of ovarian reserve with age.
