Menopause and Fertility Broadcast
Following our "Menopause Today" event, we are hosting "Menopause and Fertility" - a deep dive into the research around extending, delaying, and potentially ending menopause.
We’ll dive into:
Ovarian Cryopreservation with Dr. Kutluk Oktay
Drugs to extend fertility with Dr. Mario Cordero
Existing tools for menopause and why HRT is not enough
Against Maximum Stimulation - Egg freezing, IVF, and the case for gentler fertility medicine with Riva Tez
This is an ONLINE Event, streaming live on the @BIOHBN X Account.

It is designed for anyone interested in a clear, up-to-date perspective on a topic that deserves far more attention than it usually gets.
Bonus: A first, exclusive interview with a researcher working on a drug to extend fertility, and a conversation with one of the pioneers of ovarian cryopreservation.
