The Medicine Institute of Reproduction (or MIR, IRM in French) was created in 1984 by Professor André Mattei, pioneer in taking care and treating sterility, founder and director of Marseille CECOS (Center for the Study and Conservation of human Eggs and Sperm).
Under his supervision was created a multidisciplinary team, associating gynaecologists, endocrinologists and biologists who put in common their knowledge and their experience.

Located 6, rue Rocca in Marseille's 8th district, the Medicine Institute of Reproduction occupies three storeys in an ancient building. A modern building has been built next to it, adapted to the high scientific and technical demands of a medical laboratory. A third construction completes the premises and hosts the cytogenetics laboratory.
An extension has recently been built not far from the MIR, hosting the Group Practice for consultations. This is where (345 avenue du Prado, 00 33 486 570 570) the first consultations take place whereas the medical follow-up of ART takes place at 6, rue Rocca.
The center is opened every day, all year long, even on week-ends or public holidays.
