# Conceivable Life Sciences

> Conceivable Life Sciences is a New York-based reproductive-medicine company building AURA, described as the world's first AI-powered, automation-assisted IVF laboratory. Using robotics, machine vision, advanced optics and proprietary software, AURA standardizes the 200-plus intricate microscopic steps of in vitro fertilization - from sperm and egg preparation through robotic ICSI, embryo culture and vitrification - to reduce human variability, lower cost, and widen access to fertility care. Founded in 2022 by Joshua Abram, Alan Murray and Dr. Alejandro Chavez-Badiola, the company reported the first live birth from a digitally controlled, remotely operated ICSI system and raised a $50M Series A in 2025 to bring its lab to the U.S.

## Products & services

- **AURA** — An AI-powered, automation-assisted IVF laboratory built from six integrated robotic workstations spanning the full IVF workflow - dish and media preparation, sperm preparation, egg (oocyte) identification and denudation, robotic ICSI fertilization, embryo culture/incubation, and vitrification/thawing - using precision robotics, advanced optics, machine vision and proprietary software to standardize 200+ microscopic steps.
- **C:ICSI (Automated ICSI)** — A digitally controlled, remotely operated intracytoplasmic sperm injection workstation that uses AI, machine vision and robotics to select the highest-quality sperm, position and hold the oocyte, and control injection depth - automating all micromanipulation steps of ICSI. Produced the first live birth from a remotely operated ICSI system.
- **Automated semen / gamete preparation robot** — A fully automated system for sperm processing and gamete preparation, removing manual handling variability at the front of the IVF workflow.
