Slice 20 🥚: Can Science Improve Egg Quality? With Dr Jordan Abdi

In this episode of The Pink Pineapple Podcast, Claudia and Emma speak with Dr Jordan Abdi, CEO and co-founder of U-Ploid Biotechnologies, about one of the most important and misunderstood aspects of fertility: egg quality.Jordan explains the biology behind how eggs age and why chromosomal errors become more common over time. The conversation explores how U-Ploid’s technology aims to address this challenge directly, with a new approach designed to prevent chromosomal separation errors during egg development.Along the way, the discussion touches on fertility myths, the limitations of embryo-focused research, the responsible use of biomarkers like AMH, and how emerging fertility technologies may shift the field towards earlier, more personalised interventions.It’s a fascinating deep dive into reproductive biology, biotech innovation, and what the future of fertility care could look like.Link to the HFEA treatment add-ons traffic light system that Jordan mentions in the show: https://www.hfea.gov.uk/treatments/treatment-add-ons/
