Very grateful for this opportunity, or dream that came true I should say, to present at @ASRM_org Very grateful for the guidance of my mentors and colleagues! I learned a lot this past year, and my leaning will never end! Excited for the future findings of our study!
Part of the Ovarian Shear Wave Elastography team attended the @ASRM_org meeting. Dr. Tomiris Atazhanova gave a talk on our work supported by @GCRLE1 on: "Assessment of human ovarian stiffness using Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) as a non-invasive biomarker of reproductive aging."
