Nurija Marti-Gutjeresa

Nurija Marti-Gutjeresa is a clinical biologist at Oregon Health and Science University, leading a research team that has developed a novel method for creating human eggs capable of successful fertilization. Under her guidance, the team has achieved a significant breakthrough by removing excess chromosomes from somatic cells, effectively reprogramming them into mature eggs. This innovative approach holds promise for assisting infertile couples and could potentially be applied clinically in the next decade, despite existing ethical and technical challenges.
