Professor Marta Dirnfeld
IVF specialist. A specialist in in vitro fertilization and a researcher of fertility problems, known worldwide for her scientific achievements in embryology and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Associate professor at the Technion Faculty of Medicine.
The name of Professor Marta Dirnfeld is inseparably linked with Israel's internationally recognized successes in IVF and preimplantation diagnosis. Her international scientific and clinical work has contributed to the development of embryology both nationally and worldwide. She took part in creating one of the first IVF units in Belgium and introduced the latest genetic technologies and procedures at the BARTS London university center and at the Bridge Centre fertility clinic in London. Marta Dirnfeld continues to cooperate professionally with these world-famous IVF centers.
In 1978 Marta Dirnfeld graduated from the Technion Faculty of Medicine in Haifa and completed her gynecology residency at Carmel Medical Center, where in 1985 she founded and headed the IVF unit. As a leading specialist, she still takes an active part in its current work.
But a thirst for new knowledge, the desire to share it, and the wish to help women of different countries experience motherhood despite unfavorable factors made Marta Dirnfeld work a great deal outside Israel.
