Mina Popovic is a PhD student at the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Ghent University Hospital, within the Ghent Fertility and Stem Cell Team. She has over five years of experience as a clinical embryologist, working at Genea (previously Sydney IVF), in Sydney, Australia. She graduated with Honours from the University of New South Wales, majoring in molecular biology and genetics. Her research is currently focused on investigating the prevalence and impact of genomic instability during early human development. Further areas of interest include preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies, human pluripotent stem cells, in vitro models of human peri-implantation development, as well as gene editing of the human germline for studying embryogenesis. She is passionate about improving patient outcomes through evidence-based ART and balancing the benefits of innovation with the ethical and social implications of assisted conception.
