About

Dongmei Zhou is a pioneering reproductive surgeon whose work has reshaped the landscape of uterine transplantation in China. Her primary research focuses on fertility preservation, uterine transplantation, and the surgical restoration of reproductive function. Zhou’s most notable contribution came in 2020, when she led the team that achieved the first live birth after uterus transplantation in the People’s Republic of China, a landmark case documented in a highly cited paper (38 citations). This breakthrough not only demonstrated the technical feasibility of the procedure in a Chinese clinical setting but also offered new hope to women with absolute uterine factor infertility. Beyond this singular achievement, Zhou has been instrumental in refining surgical protocols and immunosuppression regimens for uterine transplant recipients, advancing the field from experimental to viable therapeutic option. Her work has garnered international attention, positioning her as a key figure in reproductive transplantation. For students and researchers, Zhou’s career exemplifies how bold, patient-centered innovation can transform lives and push the boundaries of reproductive medicine.
