In 2002, he received training at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich where he mastered the foreign technology of somatic cell nuclear transfer into enucleated oocytes aimed at animal cloning.

His experience in IVF totals 12 years.

His professional and research interests include oocyte vitrification, trophectoderm biopsy, mitochondrial transfer.

Presently, Dr. Yutkin works at the Department of Embryology of the European Medical Center (EMC).
