Adriana Benavente

I am a Biotechnology graduate currently completing a Master's Degree in Assisted Human Reproduction at the European University. During my internships at IVIRMA clinics, I gained hands-on experience in both the Andrology and IVF laboratories, where I developed a strong interest in reproductive medicine and embryology.

I am a responsible, detail-oriented, and hardworking professional with excellent teamwork skills and a strong commitment to continuous learning. I am particularly motivated by the constant innovation within the field of assisted reproduction and the opportunity to contribute to improving patient outcomes through scientific and technological advances.

My academic background in Biotechnology, combined with my practical training in reproductive laboratories, has provided me with a solid foundation in laboratory techniques and reproductive biology. My final undergraduate research project focused on reproductive science, further strengthening my interest in pursuing a career in this field.

• Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology
• Bachelor's Thesis: "Extracellular Vesicles and Their Effect on Sperm Structure and Function"
• Master's Degree in Assisted Human Reproduction, European University
  Expected completion: September 2026

I did an internship at the IVIRMA clinics:

• IVF Laboratory:
  • ICSI
  • Criopreservation of gametes and embryos: Cryotop
  • Embryo culture and monitoring of development
  • Embryo evaluation and grading using time-lapse incubators: Geri and EmbryoScope
  • Embryo biopsy and PGT
  • Embryo transfer
  • Oocyte bank management and donor assignment
  • Multidisciplinary teamwork

• Andrology Laboratory:
  • Semen analysis and sperm assessment using CASA
  • Sperm preparation: swim up, gradients and Zymot
  • DNA fragmentation testing
  • MACS
  • Cryopreservation of semen samples
  • Donor bank management

I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development within the field of assisted reproduction. I regularly read scientific literature to stay up to date with the latest advances in reproductive medicine and embryology. In 2026, I had the opportunity to attend the National Congress of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) in Seville, where I expanded my knowledge, learned about current developments in the field, and connected with experienced professionals.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures. Having lived and worked abroad in the past has helped me develop independence, adaptability, and responsibility. For this reason, I am open to international career opportunities.

I also enjoy learning languages and using them in multicultural environments. In my free time, I like to stay active through regular exercise, which helps me maintain discipline, balance, and well-being.
