Author Information

E Scott Sills, MD, PhD is Medical Director at the Center for Advanced Genetics in Carlsbad, California. Dr. Sills is certified both by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the National Board of Physicians & Surgeons and is in full-time IVF practice. He holds a PhD in molecular biology from London's University of Westminster and an MD degree from University of Tennessee. Dr. Sills' research interests include bioethics, reproductive biology, minimal access fertility surgery, and health policy. He has led investigative teams from Europe and USA in the discovery of three human gene mutations, including a previously unknown androgen receptor defect. Dr. Sills was elected to membership in the Max Planck Society (Germany) and the Royal Society of Medicine (UK). He previously directed the research portfolio for Ireland's largest fertility clinic, The Sims Institute/Sims IVF (Dublin) and served on the faculty at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. With medical licensure and registration in California, New York, and United Kingdom, Dr. Sills serves patients from around the world. Gianpiero D. Palermo, MD, PhD is Director of Assisted Fertilization and Andrology at the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM), Professor of Embryology in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and the Blavatnik Distinguished Professor of Reproductive Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Gianpiero Palermo is internationally known as an innovator in reproductive medicine, having developed intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a revolutionary procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg for fertilization. In recognition of his ground-breaking contribution to reproductive medicine, he has received prestigious awards, including the Serono Prize for Medical Research on chromosomal analysis of embryos; the Barbara Eck Menning Founder's Award from RESOLVE, the national infertility organization; the Shackman Memorial Lecture at Johns Hopkins; the Buckeye Lecture of the American Society of Andrology; the Jacob Heskel Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine; and the Russian Crystal Tube Award. His current research includes molecular and genetic aspects of fertilization, follow-up of ICSI babies, and genetic aspects of male infertility, as well as devising new procedures to treat age-related female infertility, harvesting and differentiation of embryonic stem cells and in vitro maturation of male germ cells.
