From 1992 until the end of 1994 he worked on his thesis in cancer research at the Institute for Pathology at the General Hospital in Salzburg. After a two-year period as a researcher at the Division of Animal Physiology of Salzburg University he began his IVF career in Linz (1997).

With his post-doctoral thesis dealing with non-invasive selection at different stages of preimplantation development, he qualified as a university lecturer in Salzburg. Thomas Ebner has published more than 50 papers in national and international journals and his research interests are non-invasive selection processes in IVF, apoptosis, and culture media.
