 Professor Yunxia Cao obtained her MD degree in 1985, her MSc degree in 1988 and her PhD in 2000. In 1998, she established the Reproductive Medical Center in Anhui Province, China, and produced the first IVM baby and first baby derived from frozen-thawed oocytes in Anhui Province, China. Professor Yunxia Cao is a well-known infertility specialist in China, and she is a National Board Member for Reproductive Medicine. Her research interests include the mechanisms underlying polycystic ovary syndrome, fertility preservation for women and the simplification of IVF treatment.
