Basic research in human reproduction
can be a difficult and trying endeavor. The founders of the Galileo Research
Laboratories have been involved in this often frustrating activity for 20
years. Despite an almost complete lack of
funding support by governmental agencies, assisted reproduction in the human
has steadily advanced through such research to its current outstanding
status. Despite the great current success of assisted reproduction
in addressing a plethora of human infertility and genetic issues, there is
still much more work to be done. It can be argued, considering the great
recent advancements in genetic analysis that the most important and
productive time for human reproduction research may now be just beginning.
We feel there is a better way to move forward.
Galileo Research Laboratories was founded for this purpose. The capabilities
of individual clinics to support and conduct research, in terms of time,
effort, funding and available experimental material, have always been very
limited. However, by joining together, a united team of clinics and
laboratories can rise above these limitations in promoting, supporting, and
undertaking the critical research that will form the basis of the future of
assisted reproductive medicine. Galileo provides a means to create this
united team.
By joining Galileo, member clinics become a part of this research team. They
contribute directly to supporting assisted reproduction research and place
themselves in position to benefit from the many advantages that such
participation provides. However, being a part of Galileo is not a one way
affair. Belonging also means that member clinics themselves receive
substantial support from the Galileo Laboratory team. Tyho-Galileo
Laboratories was founded by some of the most experienced individuals in
human ART. These individuals have been partly responsible for helping to
create the current clinical standard in human reproductive medicine and
their expertise is always available to Galileo member clinics in improving
and expanding their capabilities and performance.
