Haimant Bissessar

Haimant Bissessar graduated with a BSc. in Biology from McMaster University in 1985. Upon graduation he began working in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McMaster University performing research into monoclonal antibodies and sperm function tests.

Since 1986, he has been employed by the Hamilton Health Sciences where he has assisted in the establishment of the cryo bank and worked as an embryologist in the invitro fertilization (IVF) program. His current responsibilities include performing diagnostic andrology tests, “sperm washing” and semen banking. In recent years his focus of interest has been in sperm banking. He spearheaded the reorganization of the Hamilton Health Science’s donor sperm program in 1999, which lead to the realization that Canadians should have access to quality donor sperm. Subsequently, Can-Am Cryoservices Corp was established in partnership with Dr. Salim Daya.

Through his innovative thinking Haimant was chosen as the recipient of Serono's LIFE award in 2001. He continually strives for excellence and has presented many abstracts and posters at the Canadian Fertility and Andrology (CFAS) annual meetings.
