Zev Rosenwaks, M.D., is the Director and Physician-in-Chief of The Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM). He is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and an Attending Obstetrician/Gynecologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. In 1994, Dr. Rosenwaks was named the Revlon Distinguished Professor of Reproductive Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Under his direction, CRM has become one of the world’s leading programs in reproductive endocrinology and assisted reproduction. Dr. Rosenwaks is internationally renowned for his pioneering work in assisted reproductive technology (ART). He is the former Director of the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Norfolk, Virginia, the unit that achieved the first in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy in the United States. He also developed the first egg donation program in the United States and has been instrumental in advancing many ovarian stimulation protocols that are central to successful IVF.

He has also contributed significantly to the development of moderate ovarian stimulation protocols designed to reduce complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. His current research interests include identifying morphologic and biologic markers of embryo viability to enable single embryo transfer and reduce multiple pregnancies, optimizing preimplantation genetic testing, and deriving human embryonic stem cell lines.

A dedicated educator throughout his career, Dr. Rosenwaks has trained more than 70 fellows and has received the Weill Cornell Medical College Award for Teaching Excellence. He has published over 380 peer-reviewed articles, more than 100 invited book chapters, and six textbooks. He serves as an Editorial Editor of Fertility and Sterility and an Associate Editor of Seminars in Reproductive Medicine.

Dr. Rosenwaks has been listed in New York Magazine’s Best Doctors in New York: The Northeast and Castle Connolly’s America’s Top Doctors for over two decades. He has been featured in major media outlets including ABC’s World News Tonight, 20/20, Good Morning America, Nightline, NBC’s Today Show, NBC Nightly News, CBS’s Morning Show, The Charlie Rose Show, CNN, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Time.

His book with Dr. Marc Goldstein, A Baby at Last! (Simon & Schuster, 2010), is a guide to fertility and the medical treatment of infertility for individuals and couples seeking to build their families.

In 2012, Dr. Rosenwaks received the Maurice R. Greenberg Distinguished Service Award, Weill Cornell Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s highest honor. He is a past President of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology and served as President of the New York Obstetrical Society (2013–2014).

Dr. Rosenwaks serves as an Overseer on Weill Cornell Medical College’s Board of Overseers and sits on both the Faculty Steering Council and Executive Faculty Council.
