Laboratory Manual of Reproductive Biology and Assisted Reproductive Technologies

The manual Reproductive Biology, Endocrinology and Assisted Reproductive Technology serve as a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Zoology, Life Sciences, Biotechnology, and Medical Sciences. It integrates fundamental concepts with advanced experimental approaches, beginning with animal handling and histological examinations, and progressing to modern techniques such as hormonal assays, protein profiling, oocyte retrieval, embryo grading, and infertility investigations. Detailed coverage of assisted reproductive technologies including IVF, ICSI, cryopreservation, and embryo transfer is complemented by discussions on ethics, legal frameworks, and the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reproductive health. To support effective learning, the manual incorporates illustrations, labelled images, surgical video guide, glossary and references, making it an invaluable resource for both classroom teaching and online learning. Scientifically rigorous and practically oriented, it equips learners with conceptual clarity, technical skills, and ethical insight into the evolving field of reproductive biology.

Key Features:

•           Step-by-step coverage of both basic and advanced experimental procedures in reproductive biology and endocrinology.
