About

Dr. Gregory dePrisco is a pioneering reproductive surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of fertility treatment for women with absolute uterine infertility. His most celebrated contribution is his leadership in the first successful live birth following uterus transplantation in the United States, a landmark 2018 study that has garnered over 213 citations and demonstrated that uterine transplantation is a viable, life-changing option for women who lack a functioning uterus—whether due to congenital absence or surgical removal. This achievement not only validated the procedure’s safety and efficacy but also opened a new frontier in assisted reproduction, offering hope to thousands of patients worldwide. Beyond this breakthrough, Dr. dePrisco’s research spans the optimization of immunosuppression protocols and surgical techniques for uterine grafts, advancing the field toward broader clinical adoption. His work has been recognized with numerous institutional honors and has been featured in major medical media, cementing his reputation as a leader in reproductive transplantation. For students and researchers, his career exemplifies how bold, translational science can turn a once-futuristic concept into a clinical reality.
