In 2014, he became a Professor of Reproductive Medicine and head of the Department of Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Preservation at the University Hôpital Jean Verdier, Bondy, France. Since mid-2017, he has been head of the Department of Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Preservation at the University Hôpital Antoine Béclère, Clamart, France.  In addition, he is an active member of the basic research unit INSERM U 1133, Université Paris Diderot-CNRS UMR 8251. His research interests initially included the assessment of ovarian follicular status and the regulation of anti-Müllerian hormone, a key peptide in ovarian function. Over the past 5 years, he has expanded his field of research to include onco-fertility. Indeed, female fertility preservation has recently emerged in the field of reproductive medicine. Michaël Grynberg is a pioneer on female fertility preservation in France and has recently become the President of the French Society of Onco-Fertililty. He is also deputy of the fertility preservation special interest group of the ESHRE and Head of the Fertility Department at the French College of Obstetrician Gynecologists.
