The 2014 Oncofertility Consortium Conference is less than a month away! We’re excited to introduce Dr. Daniel Green from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. His talk “Fertility and Pregnancy Outcome After Childhood Cancer” will be the culmination to our exciting morning session on day 1 of the conference.

Here is Dr. Green’s bio:

Dr. Green’s research interests include identification of adverse effects of treatment for childhood cancer on fertility and pregnancy outcome, which is facilitated by both his involvement as head of the Fertility/Reproduction Working Group of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and the National Wilms Tumor Study Long-Term Follow-Up Study, identification of risk factors for anthracycline cardiomyopathy, and evaluation of screening strategies for evaluation of survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer.  He is interested in the interaction between genetic and exposure variables in the occurrence of post-therapy infertility.  Dr. Green organizes a conference on late effects of treatment for children and adolescents for cancer every two years.
