Vital sperm selection for assisted reproduction in severe male infertility conditions

Ziel

StarFreeze targets a painful and unresolved bottleneck in assisted reproduction: finding and recovering rare vital sperm in samples where sperm are immotile and visually resemble dead cells. These difficult cases occur in severe male-factor infertility, are highly demanding for embryologists, and often require time-consuming manual procedures with limited throughput and imperfect reliability.

The project seeks to translate frontier research from my ERC into a practical route toward objective, scalable selection of vital immotile sperm for challenging infertility conditions.
The project will concentrate on the most important early questions for translation: whether the underlying concept can be engineered into a robust prototype pathway, whether its core functions can be performed with sufficient precision and compatibility, and whether the resulting innovation can be credibly positioned from intellectual property, regulatory, end-user, and market perspectives.

If successful, StarFreeze could unlock significant value in the global infertility treatment market by addressing a high-need, high-cost segment where workflows remain manual, slow, difficult to scale, and often place a burden on public healthcare systems. By the end of the project, StarFreeze will establish whether this high-risk, high-gain concept can define a new category of fertility technology and form the basis for the next translational step toward clinical and commercial deployment.
