Genetics & IVF Institute, Inc., (GIVF) founded in 1984, was the first outpatient IVF center in the United States. Over four decades, we have grown into a family of companies providing compassionate and comprehensive reproductive technology products and services to patients around the world.
We started Fairfax Cryobank in 1986 and Fairfax EggBank in 2010 and we are now one of the world’s largest providers of frozen donor sperm and frozen donor eggs. At our flagship location in Fairfax, Virginia, we operate a state-of-the-art fertility clinic, a prenatal genetics clinic, and embryology, genetic testing, and diagnostics laboratories. We also are one of the largest providers of cryostorage for embryos, sperm and eggs in the United States. Our experts pioneered the use of frozen donor eggs and preimplantation genetic testing for embryos. Today, our renowned care team continues to help patients preserve their fertility and build their families using cutting-edge advanced reproductive technologies.
We expanded our clinical practice into China in 1998. Shanghai Ji Ai, our joint venture with Fudan University, is one of the largest infertility and genetics clinics in China. GIVF also provides laboratory services around the world via partnerships in Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, North Cyprus, Cambodia, Thailand, Kenya and Nigeria.
