 Dr Atsushi Tanaka is one of the pioneers of Japanese private infertility clinic. He obtained his PhD in 1981 at the Juntendo University (Tokyo, Japan), where he worked from 1975 to 1981 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After working at the Koshigaya Municipal Hospital (Saitama, Japan), where he performed the first successful GIFT (gamete intra-Fallopian transfer) in Japan, he started the Saint Mother Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic and Institute for ART (Fukuoka, Japan) in 1988. His current interest lies in a wide range of human infertility.Dr Atsushi Tanaka
