Julia Aliabadi
Julia joined the team at SRM the fall of 2005 and brings with her a wealth of experience from Virginia Mason Center for Fertility where she worked for 13 years. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in Zoology. ("Go Huskies!"). She began her career in the Andrology Lab and developed into a talented embryologist skilled in all aspects of embryology including micromanipulation (ICSI) and embryo biopsy for PGD. Her skills as a fast learner came in handy as she became efficient in all aspects of the Embryology Lab.
With her experience, she took administrative duties including training of other embryologists, ordering supplies, maintaining the embryology database for quality control and quality improvement and maintaining the high standards of laboratory protocols necessary to running a successful embryology laboratory. She was awarded the "Outstanding Employee of the Year" in 2000 at Virginia Mason. She received her licensure as a Technical Supervisor in Andrology and Embryology by the American Association of Bioanalysts in 2001 and serves as an inspector for the College of American Pathologists, an organization that accredits and reassures that medical laboratories are in continuous compliance to provide quality patient care at all times.
On a more personal note, she likes to chase after her two small children and reading in her spare time.
"I am fascinated by oocytes and embryos and feel like I learn something new every day."
