For Zubaida, embryology is not just a career — it is a lifelong calling. Having witnessed her own mother navigate the complexities of IVF and IUI to complete their family, Zubaida understands the emotional weight of infertility from the inside out. This personal history is what fuels her passion to be more than just a scientist handling IVF treatment.
With a B.Sc. in Microbiology and Advanced Post-Graduate Certification in Assisted Reproductive Technology (specialising in Embryology and Andrology) from the Institute of Medical Science Africa, Zubaida brings nearly four years of clinical experience at a leading fertility clinic in Abuja to every consultation.
