A very important world first in medicine was announced on April 9, 2019: The first child using Maternal Spindle Transfer (MST) was born to a Greek mother with a history of multiple failed IVF attempts. By applying its innovative clinical research in cooperation with Emryotools, the Institute of Life has managed to change the state of affairs in assisted reproduction globally. The innovative Maternal Spindle Transfer method offers the chance of preserving the mother’s genetic material and gives solutions to the fertility problems associated with multiple IVF failures due to cytoplasmic defects of the oocytes or rare mitochondrial genetic diseases. To date, 6 healthy babies have been born in Greece, at IASO, using this method.  The Institute of Life openly proves that Greece innovates and breaks new ground; that it can play a leading role on a global scientific level and attract the young Greek scientists who left the country in search of jobs abroad due to the crisis.
