Nasser Al Asmar

Biography

Nasser Al-Asmar received his Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy, and a Master Degree in Biotechnology of Human Assisted Reproduction at Valencia University (Spain). He is currently doing his Ph.D. in Human Male Genetics in collaboration with Prof. Hassold at Washington State University. He was Laboratory Manager at Igenomix USA (Miami) from its opening in 2012 until January 2016, when he became Scientific Advisor first in the USA and now for Spain and Latam. Nasser Al-Asmar has over 8 years of clinical and research laboratory experience, first at IVI-Valencia Clinic (Spain) at the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory and then at IGENOMIX (Spain) at the Preimplantation Genetic Screening Laboratory. In his research for the Ph.D., Nasser Al-Asmar has been focused in Human male meiosis, with a main biological question: is there a correlation between Synaptic Initiation Centers and Recombination Sites in the Prophase I in human male meiosis? In the clinical setting, he has extensive experience in the study of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos and spermatozoa using array CGH technology and fluorescence “in situ” hybridization. He is also currently developing these same studies for the new technique in Assisted Reproduction, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
