Stephanie Cheung

Stephanie has been with CRM since 2013. She is involved in genetics-based research, including the Assessment of Sperm Aneuploidy on Embryo Implantation, as well as the Role of Paternal Age on Embryo Development through Meiotic Errors. She is also working on a previously unestablished, inexpensive method of gender pre-selection. More recently, however, she has been investigating the possibility of carrying out a complete molecular karyotype on individual sperm cells with the use of Next Generation Sequencing.

Philip graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology specialized in molecular and cellular bioengineering. He is interested in cytological study of gamete maturation, as well as clinical application of biomedical devices and bioinstrumentation on ART procedures.

On his free time, Philip loves to practice archery. 🏹

Olena Kocur

Olena is a Clinical Embryologist & Andrologist who graduated from NYU in 2020 with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Olena uses the TUNEL assay to detect the DNA fragmentation in sperm cells of fresh and surgically retrieved specimen. Olena is currently in Medical School.

On her free time, Olena loves to practice yoga and take walks on Madison Avenue. 🧘🏼‍♀️

Lily Ng

Lily graduated from the City College of New York in 2019. She is currently investigating if biomarkers could be identified through RNA and proteomics analysis on the seminal fluid of men with non-obstructive azoospermia that can be used to predict if they will retrieve sperm from a testicular biopsy.

On her free time, Lily loves to sketch pictures with colored pencil. ✏️

Angela DeJesus

Angela graduated from Nyack College in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. Her research focuses on investigating the use of CRISPR system to genetically modify the gamete genome. 

On her free time, Angela loves to paint and read fiction. 🎨

Eros Lari

Eros graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and has worked previously on comparative genomics and evolutionary analysis. He is currently learning and working within the Andrology laboratory and has a growing passion for reproductive medicine.

On his free time, Eros enjoys practicing soccer and chess. ⚽️

Kevin

Kevin graduated from New York University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology in 2024 and has previously worked on cellular signaling and structural biology. He is currently working in the Andrology Lab and developing an interest in reproductive medicine.

On his free time, Kevin loves fencing and playing basketball. 🤺
