Emma Whitney is the Director of Embryology & Genetics at The Evewell, London. With over 20 years of hands-on practical IVF laboratory experience, she specialises in pre-implantation genetic testing of embryos with a passion to prevent the transmission of inherited genetic disease, and to enhance the capabilities of embryo selection.Emma’s commitment to genetics – coupled with her multitude of experience – allows for a pragmatic and honest approach when discussing embryology.

Emma believes IVF patients should have the opportunity to understand what goes on in the IVF laboratory. Her goal is to help patients alleviate some of the stress and anxiety caused by so many unknowns.

“IVF is as much an emotional journey as it is a scientific one. I endeavour to protect the mental wellbeing of my patients through education and awareness. So, no matter what science has to offer, every patient is in a better position to deal with their outcomes.”
