Episode 64: Conception Bio

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Petri Dish Perspectives, we explore the story of Conception Bio, one of the most ambitious biotechnology companies working at the intersection of stem cell biology, reproductive medicine, and regenerative science. Their mission? To make eggs from ordinary cells through in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), a breakthrough that could fundamentally change how we think about infertility, fertility preservation, and human reproduction. We'll dive into the science behind IVG, the pioneering research that made the field possible, the founders' vision, and why investors believe reproductive biology could become one of biotech's next major frontiers. We'll also discuss the enormous technical hurdles, ethical questions, and potential applications for cancer survivors, age-related infertility, LGBTQ+ family building, and beyond. Because the next revolution in medicine may not be about curing disease, it may be about creating life's very first cell. 🎧 Listen now, stay curious, and don’t forget to subscribe for new episodes every Thursday! https://linktr.ee/maneadkhin #PetriDishPerspectives #ConceptionBio #Fertility #IVF #StemCells #RegenerativeMedicine #Biotech #ReproductiveBiology #InVitroGametogenesis #IVG #DrugDiscovery #Healthcare #LifeSciences #DevelopmentalBiology #PrecisionMedicine #WomenInScience #Biotechnology #SciencePodcast #FutureOfMedicine #BiotechPodcast Support the show © 2026 The Perspective Bureau LLC.
