The Progress Educational Trust (PET) are hosting their annual conference on the topic ‘Fertility, Genomics and COVID-19’ on 9th December 2020. The event is to be held online, via Zoom.

The conference will explore what we know about, and how we might deal with, coronavirus/COVID-19 in relation to fertility and genomics. Conference sessions include:

• the impact of COVID-19 on the fertility sector
• examining the evidence: can COVID-19 affect fertility? Can it affect the foetus?
• correlation and causation: what can genetics and genomics tell us about COVID-19?
• resuming treatment: what can European countries learn from one another?
