Cryolab Founder Has Attended Every ESHRE Since 1985 (42 Years)

In 1985, ESHRE held its first meeting in Bonn, Germany. Paul Hague, now founder of Cryolab, was present at that inaugural event.

Since then, he has attended every single ESHRE Annual Meeting without exception — marking 42 consecutive years in 2026.

Early IVF context
IVF was in its early clinical stage
Laboratory protocols were not standardised
Cryopreservation techniques were still developing
Equipment was often adapted from other scientific fields
Paul Hague’s industry journey

Paul Hague worked as Export Sales Manager at Planer during the early years of ESHRE. His continuous attendance allowed him to observe the evolution of reproductive science first-hand.

Over time, this experience contributed to the founding of Cryolab in the early 2000s.
