Under the direction of Ying C. Song, M.D., Ph.D., Xytex Research occupies 1,500 square feet of laboratory and office space in the Life Sciences Business Development Center on the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) campus.  Dr. Song is also serving on the faculty at MCG. 

Xytex Research provides the component companies of Xytex International Ltd. the means to give back to reproductive medicine a measure of appreciation for its confidence in our services for 30 years – the gift of advanced, innovative technologies for the benefit of patient care.

Dr. Song says that his research will focus on developing advanced technologies to preserve fertility of men and women whose fertility has been destroyed by disease, such as cancer. 

Simultaneously, he will be developing programs for regenerative medicine, which is called “tissue engineering,” to repair and replace damaged cells, tissues and organs. 

Dr. Song hopes one day to apply the technologies he and his team developed to reproductive cells, tissues and organs such as testicle tissues damaged by childhood cancers to preserve this tissue and transplant it back to grow sperm for the patient. Additionally, he hopes to apply this same principle to ovarian tissues and ooyctes for female fertility.
