 Dr Guo Qing Tong, Professor of Reproductive Medicine, is the Director of the Assisted Reproductive Center of Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Hospital (Nanjing Medical University), Jiangsu, People’s Republic of China. He obtained his Master’s degree in Clinical Embryology in 2000 and his PhD degree in 2004, from the National University of Singapore. He is a fertility specialist actively involved in both clinical services and scientific research. His research interests are focused on human blastocyst culture, embryo cryopreservation (vitrification) and genetic mechanisms underlying the developmental arrest of in-vitro cultured human embryos.
