OXFORD, England, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Care Fertility, a leading fertility treatment provider, and U-Ploid Biotechnologies, a pioneering reproductive health biotech, today announces a research collaboration aimed at improving egg quality and improve fertility treatment. Egg quality is one of the main contributing factors to infertility and is known to deteriorate rapidly with increasing female age. This research collaboration has the potential to validate novel therapeutics and offer hope to millions struggling to conceive.
This collaboration will allow U-Ploid to leverage Care Fertility's extensive clinical expertise, built upon its outstanding reputation for excellent success rates, high medical standards, and clinical leadership.
"We are thrilled to begin this collaborative research with U-Ploid Biotechnologies," said Prof. Alison Campbell, Chief Scientific Officer of Care Fertility. "Advancing knowledge and treatments to support women facing age-related infertility is a priority for Care Fertility and to think that this research could help prevent the most common cause of infertility is extraordinary."
The collaboration is expected to accelerate the development of U-Ploid's lead programme, a proprietary first-in-class therapeutic, enabling it to reach the clinical stage more quickly and efficiently.
"We are excited to partner with Care Fertility on this research as we enter the next stage of development," said Dr. Jordan Abdi, Co-founder & CEO of U-Ploid Biotechnologies. "This collaboration provides us with the opportunity to work closely with a highly respected leader in fertility care and to gain valuable clinical insights."
U-Ploid Biotechnologies' lead programme has shown promising preclinical activity in addressing age-related natural egg deterioration. The collaboration is a long-term research effort, and the partners are planning on enrolling patients into the first study later this year.
