2024 - Alexander Lagunov (Toronto, ON)
Alexander Lagunov has been assisting the CFAS with various projects for over 10 years as part of the ART Lab SIG group. First as a Junior Executive followed by Senior and current SIG Chair terms.
He is passionate about continuing to dedicate his time to further develop the field of ART in Canada, through commitment on the Board of Directors of CFAS.
Having an early involvement in the ART Lab professionals certification processes in Canada, Alexander is keen on assisting to guide this process towards completion for laboratory professionals in various roles. In addition, he would be honoured to increase the laboratory body representation while assisting with guidance for CFAS policies and procedures.
Mr. Lagunov's experience in building and operating the laboratories of CCRM Toronto/Hannam Fertility since conception, extensive involvement in University based collaborative clinical research and experience with ART Lab inspection and certification programs (CAP, Accreditation Canada) will collectively provide valuable knowledge to the CFAS and Board of Directors.
