Improved accuracy of preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disease (PGT-M) and elimination of the need for samples from additional family members, achieved using long-range sequencing Professor Dagan Wells, Director of Juno Genetics and Associate Professor, University of Oxford, UK
Dagan Wells has been involved in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for almost three decades. Throughout his career he has been at the forefront of new developments in the field, achieving numerous firsts, such as the first comprehensive chromosome analysis of embryo biopsy specimens. Dagan is a professor at the University of Oxford and also serves as Director of Juno Genetics, a state-of-the-art genetics laboratory specialising in PGT, non-invasive prenatal testing, carrier screening and other genetic tests related to infertility and pregnancy. His work has led to the publication of over 200 scientific papers and has been recognised with fellowships of the Royal College of Pathologists, the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Institute of Biomedical Science. He is President-elect of the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis International Society.
