Catherine Racowsky

Bio:

Professor Catherine Racowsky is professor of Harvard Medical School and director of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Laboratory at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and president of American Society for Reproductive Medicine. She is considered as a world leader in clinical innovation in the field of human ART with significant innovations in improving embryo health, reducing the incidence of pregnancies comprised of triplets and above, and increasing overall live birth rates.

In 2019, Professor Catherine Racowsky was appointed as guest professor of Zhejiang University.
