Laboratory Director

Dr. Kevin Kiboong Oum started his career as the Scientific Director at Columbia University Fertility Center in New York and is now the Lab Director at Coastal Fertility Medical Center.
His ICSI research in 1993 (while ICSI was still a new skill to the embryology field) earned him recognition by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, for his success with Vitrification of Human Blastocyst Embryos. Recognizing his determination, Columbia University invited him to collaborate on other similar projects.
Dr. Oum received his Ph.D in Animal Reproduction at the graduate school in Konkuk University in Seoul. He later became a professor at Choongmoon Medical School and several other colleges and graduate schools in Korea, teaching human embryology, cell biology, and genetic engineering.
Since moving to the United States, Dr. Oum has become a board-certified High-complexity Clinical Laboratory Director (HCLD) for clinical laboratories and is a Clinical Consultant for the American Board of Bioanalysis (ABB). He is also a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, American Association of Bioanalyses and Society of Reproductive Biologists Technologists.
Dr. Oum specializes in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Embryo Biopsy, Surgical Sperm Retrieval, and Cryopreservation and has worked in some of the largest fertility centers in Korea and the United States.
