Dr Lauren Alesi is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Monash University. She was recently awarded her PhD in early 2024, which she also undertook at Monash University under the supervision of Prof Karla Hutt and Dr Amy Winship in the Ovarian Biology Laboratory. During this time, her research focussed on understanding and preventing the unintended side effects of new and existing cancer treatments on female reproductive function and fertility. Lauren recently received a Monash University Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Early Career Postdoctoral Fellowship to continue and expand this research. She is establishing an emerging reputation in the fields of reproductive biology and oncofertility, with high-impact publications in the journals Nature Cancer, Human Reproduction Update and JCI Insight. By understanding how different cancer treatments impact the entire reproductive tract – including the uterus – Lauren hopes to develop new, innovative strategies to protect fertility in young girls and women who survive their cancer.

The most significant research and clinical innovation accomplishments include: Co-pioneering the technique of microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) for men with congenital absence of the vas deferens and discovered the etiology as a mild form of cystic fibrosis; Discovered that some cases of male infertility are due to Y-chromosome deletions; Pioneered the technique of whole ovary cryopreservation; Deciphered molecular mechanisms responsible for oocyte aging.
Current research interests include improving the efficiency and protocols of ART, reproduction at advanced age; simplify and standardize the IVF laboratory by automation; lyophilization of gametes, embryos and reproductive tissue; and enhancing fertility preservation strategies with ex-vivo ovarian perfusion.

I am currently a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and the founder of the Preimplantation Genetic Testing PGT) Laboratory and the Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis Centre (PGDC) at Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), serving now as the Deputy Director in charge of laboratory services. The PGT and PGDC are both one of the most active and productive centers in Asia, serving as a tertiary referral and training center for PGT and prenatal testing for both the public and private clinical sectors in Hong Kong, mainland China and Asia. As a pioneer in PGT and prenatal diagnosis, my team utilizes state-of-the-art genomic technologies, including chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and genome sequencing, and we first reported the outcome of a multi-centre mosaic embryo transfer pregnancy outcome in Asia and the contribution of pathogenic chromosome copy number variants (CNVs) in fetus with high nuchal translucency. In 2021, I established the Fertility Preservation Research Centre to enhance the outcome of in-vitro fertilization pregnancies
My achievements include over 225 publications in international peer-reviewed journals, with several landmark papers uncovering the contribution of CNVs in fetuses with structural malformations, and an H-index of 44. Recently, my laboratory pioneered the novel application of Low-pass whole-genome sequencing (Low-pass WGS) method which can detect balanced chromosomal structural variants (SVs) or rearrangements that contribute to human diseases.
I received over 45 competitive research grants as PI or co-PI from Hong Kong UGC, NSFC in China, and NIH in US in a scale of 0.5 million to 35 million HKD, and a recent 10 million dollar donation for my work on reproductive genetics.

Prof. Samuel Kim is one of the pioneers in ovarian transplantation and his seminal work has made worldwide news. He founded the International Society for Fertility Preservation (ISFP) with Donnez and served as the 2nd President of the Society. He is also one of the founders of ASFP. Prof. Kim retired from the University of Kansas after serving as Professor and Director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
Prof. Kim has published extensively in many prestigious journals including `Nature`. Furthermore, he authored and edited four books including ‘Principles and Practice of Fertility Preservation’. Throughout his career, Prof. Kim received numerous scientific awards and has been lecturing around the world. He served as an editorial board member of reputable journals including F&S.

Sanaz Dereh Haim Tzfanya is a PhD student at Tel Aviv University and the Fertility Preservation Laboratory at Sheba Medical Center, Israel, under the supervision of Prof. Dror Meirow. Her PhD research investigates the Involvement of extra follicular compartment, including stromal cells and extra-cellular matrix, in primordial follicle activation. In addition, she is a member of team which investigates Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in ovary before ovarian tissue transplantation in cancer patients. She has graduated from Bar Ilan university with MSc and B.A degrees.

He performed the world’s first microsurgical vasectomy reversal, as well as the first testicle transplant, in the 70’s and now in the current century, the world’s first ovary transplant. He was the first to develop the TESE and MESA techniques for retrieving testicular and epididymal sperm in azoospermic men. He headed the clinical MIT team that first mapped and sequenced the Y chromosome in infertile men and discovered the now famous DAZ gene for male fertility. His research includes also the study of reproduction and fertility in zoo animals and endangered species. Most recently he has perfected the preservation of fertility for cancer patients with ovarian freezing and transplantation and thereby figured out how to extend the reproductive biological clock of women. He has helped pioneer minimal ovarian stimulation to reduce IVF costs and eliminate complications while maintaining the very highest success rate, even in older women. He has even recently answered the age-old question of why the dinosaurs went extinct by extending his research on male infertility and the Y chromosome, discovering that the change in earth temperature 65,000,000 years ago led to the birth of a skewed male/female sex ratio.
He now heads the clinical team on the CHOSE project to transform skin biopsy cells into eggs and sperm in humans.
Dr. Silber went to medical school at the University of Michigan, did post-graduate training at Stanford University, and then again at the University of Michigan.
