Dr. Demián Glujovsky: IVF Expert & Cochrane Editor

What is your role as Scientific Director at CEGYR?

My primary responsibility involves ensuring all treatments rely on solid scientific evidence. I review advances in reproductive medicine, coordinate research initiatives, train medical staff, and contribute to scientific publications. Success encompasses both effective treatments and clear patient communication to facilitate informed decision-making.

What does it mean to work with an evidence-based approach?

Evidence-based medicine means medical decisions stem from rigorous research rather than trends or individual preferences. Through my work with systematic reviews and meta-analyses via the Cochrane Collaboration, we strive to ensure every patient receives a treatment supported by strong, reliable data. When evidence is limited, treatments are offered selectively with transparency about those constraints.

How do you balance scientific rigor with personalized care?

Science establishes the “what” and “how,” but it cannot replace human connection. I prioritize listening to patients’ stories, values, and concerns while explaining options clearly. Recent research highlights how metaphors can be effective in helping patients grasp complex information — something I actively use in consultations.

What makes CEGYR different from other fertility centers?

CEGYR combines over 40 years of clinical experience with scientific innovation through collaborative teamwork. We evaluate AI-based tools critically and implement technology responsibly, always prioritizing patient interests over commercial appeal. The combination of a world-class embryo laboratory and an evidence-driven medical team is what truly sets us apart.

What projects are you currently working on?

Current research focuses on artificial intelligence applications in prognosis assessment, ultrasound monitoring, egg quality evaluation, and embryo selection. We are also conducting studies examining patient experience and quality of life during fertility treatment. The team regularly participates in international scientific conferences with recognized publications.

What message would you give to someone starting fertility treatment?

Take the first step. Modern fertility medicine offers powerful tools, and our research department works continuously to personalize treatments and improve the patient journey.

Regardless of your situation — whether you are just starting to explore options or have already been through several treatment cycles — we are here to help you find the clearest, most evidence-based path forward.
