Dr. Zsolt Nagy
Reproductive Endocrinologist
His professional career in assisted reproduction started at the Department of Reproductive Medicine (Brussels University) in 1989, employed as a medical scientist on the team that first developed intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a novel insemination method, now utilized world-wide. Prior to joining the team at Reproductive Biology Associates, he was Scientific Director in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and at the European Hospital in Rome, Italy (1997-2001). During the last two decades, Dr. Nagy was frequently invited to perform international consultations to help improving efficiency of IVF Clinics, including to set up several ICSI laboratories at different points of the world.
Dr. Nagy is a member of several national and international professional societies, including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), and serves on various committees of these societies. He has been an invited speaker on hundreds of medical and scientific meetings over the last 15 years. Dr. Nagy has organized and/or chaired over 100 congresses, symposia, and workshops since 1991. He is a scientific reviewer for several peer-reviewed medical journals and Associate Editor of two highly ranked scientific journals: Human Reproduction and Reproductive Biomedicine. Dr. Nagy has authored or co-authored over 200 articles published in peer- reviewed medical and scientific journals, as well written or edited several books and book chapters.
Dr. Nagy has performed, coordinated and supervised several research projects that have been awarded with national or international grants. Most recently he, with his team, contributed to significant improvements in oocyte cryopreservation using vitrification technology, which led to the establishment of the first highly-efficient donor egg cryo-bank in the United States. The same novel approach now offers a long awaited option for women to preserve their fertility for medical or for social reasons.
