"I'm very proud to be part of the IBSA Foundation family and above all to be a member of the Scientific Board. With its scholarships, IBSA Foundation promotes the careers of young scientists in a unique way. What's more, IBSA Foundation has conducted an in-depth opinion survey in Switzerland about Swiss residents' knowledge of the different infertility treatments and their views on them. The results of this survey are a big help in the ongoing political debate to obtain the legal approval of certain therapies in Switzerland, such as egg donation." | Bruno Imthurn
