Biography
Christiani Amorim is a Professor at the Université Catholique de Louvain in Brussels, Belgium, holding a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine and a PhD in animal reproduction. For the past 20 years, she has worked with preantral follicles from a range of mammalian species, initially focusing on domestic animals and developing cryopreservation procedures for isolated follicles and ovarian tissue to safeguard native breeds from Brazil and Italy. Since 2007, her research has centered on human preantral follicles, with her major goal being the creation of a transplantable artificial ovary using biomaterials to restore fertility in cancer patients. Her work also encompasses ovarian tissue characterization, cryopreservation, and xenotransplantation, contributing to significant advances in reproductive medicine, including her highly cited 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis on fresh and cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation.
