About Us
Pioneering a New Path to Parenthood
At Reproductive Immunology Canada (RIC), we stand at the intersection of cutting-edge science and compassionate care, dedicated to uncovering answers where traditional fertility approaches have fallen short.​
Our Mission
We exist to transform the landscape of fertility care in Canada by providing specialized reproductive immunology testing and personalized treatment pathways for couples facing unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and implantation failure.
The RIC Difference
While conventional fertility clinics focus primarily on egg quality, sperm parameters, and structural issues, we delve deeper—examining the complex relationship between your immune system and reproductive health. This critical dimension is often overlooked in standard fertility evaluations, leaving up to 50% of Canadian couples with frustrating "unexplained" diagnoses.
Our comprehensive diagnostic approach investigates immune factors that may be preventing conception or successful pregnancy, including:
​
-
Natural Killer (NK) cell activity
-
Cytokine and inflammatory markers
-
Reproductive autoimmunity
-
Immunological compatibility between partners
-
Thrombophilia and blood clotting disorders
Our Expertise
Our multidisciplinary team brings together specialists in reproductive immunology, fertility medicine, clinical pathology, and patient care. Led by our founder Dr. Nafeesa Jalal, whose personal fertility journey inspired RIC's creation, our team combines academic excellence with genuine empathy for your experience.
