About: Dr Claire Moran

Hi there, my name is Dr Claire Moran. I am a clinical embryologist with a Phd in Pharmacology from University College Dublin. I have an established career in Advanced Reproductive Technologies (ART) performing everything from fertility investigations to IUI, IVF, ICSI, Donor Egg and Donor Sperm programmes. With over a decade of experience working in fertility clinics I want to use my experience and knowledge to help couples who are struggling to conceive. Advanced therapies are not always required so I hope we can work together to increase your chances of becoming pregnant naturally.
