As every year, the European Researchers’ Night takes place in the last week of September and this time the HYLIGHT project was present. Anna Ferrer from IBEC gave a talk to young students from a school in Barcelona about embryo development. In addition, an infographic explaining the project is available on the Catalan website of…

HYLIGHT researchers publish a paper describing METAPHOR: Metabolic Evaluation through Phasor-based Hyperspectral Imaging and Organelle Recognition. The new technique makes it possible to classify the quality of embryos faster and twice as accurately as expert embryologists by applying imaging and artificial intelligence to analyze their metabolism. HYLIGHT researchers recently published a paper describing METAPHOR: Metabolic…

Last 12 and 13 of June, more than 100 researchers met together in Grenoble, France, for the ATTRACT prefinal meeting. HYLIGHT researchers were there and explained the latest advances of the project. The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble recently hosted the ATTRACT phase 2 prefinal meeting. The two-day conference included workshops, presentations, and…

The 17th Science Party (“Festa de la Ciència” in Catalan) was held from June 7th to 9th in Barcelona. Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) organized a series of hands-on activities to explain the HYLIGHT project to a non-specialized audience and to make the topic of in vitro fertilization more accessible to…

Six students from BASE, one of the Student Programs funded under ATTRACT phase 2, spent one entire day at IBEC, visiting the premisses of the Bioengineering for Reproductive Health Group and knowing in detail the HYLIGHT project. ATTRACT student programs aim to offer students the opportunity, methodologies, and mentorship needed to develop novel concepts and prototypes…

Students at the Secondary School Angeleta Ferrer in Barcelona had the occasion to know the HYLIGHT project and learn about in vitro fertilization, embryo selection and reproductive health.
