Anastasia Mania has been actively involved in fertility treatment and research since graduating in Molecular Biology at University College London (UCL) in 2004.
She joined the clinical team at UCL working on preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening (PGD and PGS) whilst at the same time obtaining her MSc in Pre-implantation Genetics and Fetal Medicine (2007).
During her time at UCL she got her first taste for research when investigating chromosomal changes in embryos. Spurred on by this, she began her clinical training in Embryology at a large NHS teaching Hospital in London, where she coordinated the PGD service until 2013. During this time, she became ACE and HCPC registered and taught as an honorary lecturer at Imperial College London’s Masters in Reproductive Biology.
Anastasia then joined a very successful private London unit as a senior embryologist where she became very proficient in oocyte vitrification and blastocyst biopsy. Whilst there, she became team leader for the research group and has published several papers.
Anastasia is passionate about improving pregnancy outcomes and applying the latest research to her clinical work while caring for the patient. Now at King’s Fertility, she is excited about the road ahead.

Rose & Philippe's Journey 💙 After more than three years of trying to conceive, Rose and Philippe were faced with unexplained infertility and months of heartbreak with no clear answers. When they came to King’s Fertility, everything changed. From their first IVF cycle in July 2025, they were supported every step of the way with carefully tailored treatment and close monitoring. At egg collection, a good number of eggs were retrieved, resulting in several of healthy embryos. Their first embryo transfer took place on 17th September, a date that will forever hold special meaning. Due to the lucky socks, a week later, for the very first time, they saw two lines on a pregnancy test. Now, they are counting down the days until they meet their baby girl, due on 5th June. “We can’t thank the team at King’s Fertility enough. Their kindness, care, and support made our dream possible.” 💙
