The Free University of Brussels is internationally known for the first application of microinsemination (ICSI), which revolutionized the treatment of male infertility, and testicular biopsy for the treatment of azoospermia, as well as for the department of genetics with applications pre-implantation control of embryos for the diagnosis of genetic diseases.
