PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Rómulo De Nes is the director of CITOLAB in Guatemala City. He is a biological chemist and specialist in IVF and fertility, providing state-of-the-art laboratory procedures for local and international patients for 30 years. Biological chemistry is the study of the chemical processes within the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of living cells.

Patients depend on him for advice regarding their lab work, procedures, and follow-up results, working together with their own medical providers. Consult with Dr. De Nes first about suggesting the appropriate lab work for your age, history, and medical concerns, then take the results to your specialist for a physical exam and evaluation. Prevention through laboratory testing is the best method if identifying the next steps to reaching your optimum level of health.

He has completed advanced international training in state-of-the-art fertility clinics like Spring Fertility in Palo Alto, California, and he is the primary laboratory associate for the Clinica Santa Maria in Guatemala City. Citolab is the first laboratory in Central America to be globally accredited for semen analysis/spermogram and sperm capacitation.
