Our Goal
To advance the art and science of clinical embryology for the benefit of the public worldwide, through international promotion of education, communication, and collaboration.
ALPHA was formed in 1994 by a group of internationally renowned scientists with a passion for embryology.
Witnessing the rapid developments in IVF and related technologies circa 1993, Jacques Cohen, Brian Dale, and Steen Willadsen recognized the need for a professional organization to represent and advocate for clinical embryologists. They envisioned this organization to be named Alpha, and were soon joined by other prominent scientists, including Yves Menezo, Kay Elder, Alan Handyside, and others who helped make this vision a reality in 1994.
