A highly skilled postgraduate certificate that will prepare you in all aspects of nursing staff work in reproductive genetics and immunology"

This postgraduate certificate will prepare the student in the key aspects of human reproduction, anatomy and physiology of the reproductive organs as the key to basic knowledge in this field. The importance of neuroendocrinology in reproduction will also be highlighted, since it is hormones that guide the menstrual cycle and gametogenesis. Both ovogenesis and spermatogenesis are essential for human reproduction, the processes of meiosis being the key to the development of our species. The relationship of hormones to the creation of oocytes and sperm is essential to understanding reproductive biology.  

In this topic we will also discuss the menstrual cycle, fertilization and embryonic development, and the effect of age on the reproductive system, which is very important in the era of assisted reproduction in which we live.  

In the second part of this postgraduate certificate, the relationship between genetics and immunology and assisted reproduction will be addressed. The basic techniques for the diagnosis of genetic diseases such as Down Syndrome or Klinefelter Syndrome will be reviewed. The importance of karyotyping in assisted reproduction consultation and the most complex and novel techniques, such as CGH arrays, used in preimplantation genetic diagnosis will also be discussed.

Without forgetting that preimplantation genetic diagnosis is one of the pillars in assisted reproduction treatments and the genetic studies recommended for donors and carrier Matching tests. The second block of the postgraduate certificate will review the key concepts of immunology, will discuss the immune system of women and the cell populations that compose it to understand the problems that can occur when there are autoimmune or alloimmune factors that compromise fertility, and the main treatments. Finally, two specific cases will be discussed, endometriosis and Chlamydia trachomatis infection, which are closely related to inflammation and the immune system.    

With this postgraduate certificate you will be able to balance a high-intensity program with your personal and professional life, achieving your goals in a simple and real way”
