个人介绍：
毕业于约翰霍普金斯大学的吴医生全名Irene Woo, 是全美知名的辅助生殖专家，从事临床工作8年，尤其擅长胚胎移植。通过早产因子的发现，吴医生找到了移植后，导致胎儿体重变轻和早产的重要原因, 也为此荣获了美国医学界的诸多殊荣。
执业经历：
试管婴儿专家艾琳.吴，女，医学博士，美国权威辅助生殖专家。现任美国加州生殖医学中心首席医师，美国生殖医学学会（ASRM）常务委员、美国妇产科医学学院（ACOG）常务委员，美国不孕不育与生殖内分泌协会（SREI）委员、美国知名辅助生殖期刊主审官，世界试管婴儿权威教材-IVF第四版主编。
试管婴儿专家吴医生出生于宾州费城，她的教育背景如下：
2002-2006年 宾夕法尼亚大学（美国常青藤联盟）完成分子生物学本科
2006-2010年 宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院完成临床医学博士
2010-2014年 约翰霍普金斯大学医学院完成住院医师实习
2014-2017年 南加州大学医学院辅助生殖与内分泌专家级进修
试管婴儿专家吴医生具备美国妇产科委员会授予的辅助生殖与内分泌认证+妇产科学双重认证。作为全美辅助生殖技术最新最前沿的科研代表，吴医生解决了辅助生殖领域诸多核心问题：包括癌症患者生育能力保持，冻卵高效复苏后移植、卵巢早衰患者的卵子活性保持、早产因子、卵巢早衰因子等。
试管婴儿专家吴医生是全洛杉矶仅有的几位坚持试管婴儿全程跟诊，凡事亲力亲为的医生。秉着医者父母心的行医宗旨，对待所有患者务必保持坦诚、公开、信息透明。作为一个求学多年的女性执业医师，吴医生深切的理解并关心当代都市女性大龄晚婚的真实现状，她十分热衷于现代女性的生育能力保存，为此曾经在诸多女权组织中发表了重要演讲。
在行医的8年中，试管婴儿专家吴医生针对冷冻卵子胚胎移植、卵巢早衰女性的卵子活力保持，多囊卵巢综合症等诸多问题都有独到之处；此外试管婴儿专家吴医生与世界辅助生殖医学届的诸多大牛一同编撰了美国权威辅助生殖教材-美国第四版试管婴儿the 4th edition of In Vitro Fertilization.
试管婴儿专家吴医生坚信患者千人千面，对待每一个患者都必须要坚持个性化治疗，并在后续跟进中不断优化治疗方案直至最后成功，让每一个女性都能抱到一个健康的baby。
冷冻卵子的复苏效率比不上冷冻胚胎，即使到今日，冷冻卵子的复苏效率也没有达到80%。因此单身女性在考虑冻卵的时候，是要提前选择捐精人做成胚胎，还是多做几次冻卵以防失败，始终是个难题。
2017年试管婴儿专家吴医生发表在《ASSISTED REPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES》（辅助生殖技术）中的一文成功的解决了卵子冷冻复苏效率不高的问题，经过10年间286例患者的研究，吴医生成功的将冷冻卵子的活产率提高到了冷冻胚胎的同样效率。
吴医生对于早产因子的重要发现：
2017年5月，试管婴儿专家吴医生发表的一篇关于早产因子造成妊娠不良结局的文章《The role of angiogenic markers in adverse perinatal outcomes: fresh versus frozen embryo transfers》，首次革命性的找到了血管生成标志物与胎儿发育的重要关系，在美国辅助生殖界引起巨大轰动。
通过2011-2013年的数据比对，试管婴儿专家吴医生发现，自然受孕的女性中，血管生成因子（VEGF）+ 胎盘生成因子（PIGF）的比例高于试管受孕的女性，连锁冻胚胎移植数据研究，（自然受孕>冻胚胎> 鲜胚胎）明确了影响胎儿早期着床、发育以及早产的重要原因。
吴医生对于早衰因子的重要发现：
经过10年的临床研究，试管婴儿专家吴医生成功找到了卵巢早衰人群和正常人群的分子表达差异，并成功的定位到了10个特异性microRNA（命名为卵巢早衰因子），吴医生发现有五类生物分子的表达量提高了5-9倍，另外五类的生物分子下降了12-55倍不等。这些生物分子的表达失控，可能是造成卵巢早衰的罪魁祸首。
试管婴儿专家吴医生的重要发现，为未来卵巢早衰的预防以及治疗提供了一个清晰的方向，以小分子表达检测预估卵巢年龄，会将卵巢早衰的风险预估提早10年。
