Embryologist
I am Dr. Tengiz Zhorzholadze, an Embryologist at the Georgian-American Reproductive Center. My journey in medicine began at the AIETI Medical School and continued at Petre Shotadze Tbilisi Medical Academy, where I cultivated my expertise in reproductive science. Along the way, I completed various professional qualification courses, including life support treatment, automated external defibrillation, public healthcare, and chronic disease prevention. I have also specialized in embryo and egg cell vitrification, embryo biopsy, and genetic screening.
I hold a master’s degree from Valencia University and have been fortunate to train under esteemed American IVF professionals. My role encompasses a wide array of clinical embryology and andrology tasks, from diagnostic semen analysis to surgical sperm retrieval, oocyte collection, insemination through ICSI, and embryo transfer. I am passionate about cryopreservation methods, including vitrification, and advancing preimplantation genetic testing for both aneuploidy (PGT-A) and monogenic diseases (PGT-M).
My experience includes working as a specialist in the Department of Non-Communicable Diseases at the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health in 2010-2011, and I have been committed to my role at the present reproductive center since 2012.
I have also contributed to academic literature, including studies such as “Parameters associated with survival and implantation following vitrification of blastocysts” and “Administration of the first two doses of Gonadotropin at twice the dose during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation decreases total gonadotropin administration during IVF Cycles.” My work was presented at the ASRM annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 2014.
To all the intended parents, my role extends beyond the laboratory; I see it as an honor to be part of your journey toward parenthood. I understand that this is a path filled with hope, uncertainty, and dreams waiting to be fulfilled. Your dreams of family inspire my work, and I am committed to helping through this journey with the utmost support, dedication and professionalism.
