About
Amir Mokhtare is a pioneering researcher in the field of reproductive microfluidics, specializing in the development of lab-on-a-chip technologies for assisted reproductive technologies (ART). His work focuses on automating delicate embryology procedures, particularly oocyte denudation—a critical step in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Mokhtare’s major contributions include designing and testing an innovative contact-free ultrasonic microfluidic device that gently removes cumulus cells from oocytes without mechanical stress or temperature fluctuations, addressing key limitations of manual methods. His most-cited paper, *"EMBRYOLOGY LAB-ON-A-CHIP: AUTOMATED OOCYTE DENUDATION MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE"* (2020, 5 citations), and its companion abstract *"O-124 Contact-free oocyte denudation in a chip-scale ultrasonic microfluidic device"* (2021, 4 citations), demonstrate the feasibility of using acoustic forces to streamline ICSI preparation. Though early in his career, Mokhtare’s work has significant potential to reduce oocyte damage and improve IVF outcomes, making him a rising voice in the integration of microengineering with clinical embryology. His research bridges engineering and reproductive medicine, offering a glimpse into the future of automated, gentle, and efficient ART workflows.
