About

Junru Zhang 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 complex reproductive surgery. Zhang’s most notable contribution came in 2020 with the landmark report of the first live birth after uterus transplantation in the People’s Republic of China, a breakthrough that has garnered 38 citations and marked a historic milestone in the nation’s reproductive medicine. This achievement not only demonstrated the feasibility of the procedure in a Chinese clinical setting but also opened new avenues for women with uterine factor infertility. Beyond this singular success, Zhang’s broader research portfolio explores surgical techniques to minimize graft rejection and optimize pregnancy outcomes. Her work has been instrumental in establishing protocols that are now referenced by transplant teams across Asia. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for translating complex surgical science into real-world patient success, Zhang continues to be a driving force in advancing fertility options for women who previously had none.
