EMBO Workshop on Ovarian Biology:
1st European Ovary Workshop
All About Ovaries
February 17 – 20, 2025 | Lagos, Portugal
Welcome to the EOW 2025
Welcome to the EMBO Workshop on Ovarian Biology: 1st European Ovary Workshop – all about ovaries and ovarian research!
This EMBO Workshop aims to address global fertility challenges by bringing together researchers and clinicians in ovarian research. We will focus on ovarian biology, meiosis, ovarian microenvironment, generating oocytes in vitro, ovarian aging, endocrinology, ovarian dysfunction, environmental impacts, fertility preservation, and wildlife conservation. Through knowledge exchange and networking, the first ever European Ovary Workshop (EOW) seeks to foster innovative solutions and support the next generation of scientists within ovarian research.
Join us for this EMBO Workshop on Ovarian Biology from February 17-20, 2025, at Hotel Vila Galé Lagos in Portugal to learn from the best and forge connections with leaders to shape the future of ovarian biology, fertility treatments and woman’s health.
We look forward to welcoming you all!

A PROGRAM PACKED WITH OVARIAN RESEARCH – ALL ABOUT OVARIES!
The EOW will cover a wide range of topics, from ovarian developmental biology across species to intricate molecular interactions within ovaries, endocrine control of reproduction, the impacts of toxic exposures, diseases, ovarian ageing, and generating oocytes in vitro .
Participants will present and deliberate on the latest basic and translational ovarian research and engage in various networking activities.
The program contains 12 current topics in ovarian research and female fertility:
Session 1: Ovarian Development & Meiosis
Session 2: Granulosa & Theca Cells
Session 3: Ovarian Microenvironment
Session 4: Generating Oocytes in vitro
Session 5: Ovarian Aging
Session 6: Ovarian Endocrinology
Session 7: Ovarian Dysfunction & ART
Session 8: Ovarian Toxicology
