• •Achieved America's first frozen embryo twin birth.
• •The first American center to publicly report pregnancies using ICSI (intracytoplasmicsperm      injection).
• •The first to test patients for certain genetic mutations which are associated with hereditary breast cancer.
• •Developed the technique of non-surgical sperm aspiration for improved treatment of male       infertility.
• •First in the world to initiate ovarian cryopreservation for patients with cancer.
• •Developed a method using preimplantation genetic testing for the prevention of Huntington disease.
• •One of the first donor egg IVF programs in the United States, launched in the late 1980s.
• •One of the largest sperm banks in the United States (Fairfax Cryobank)
• •One of the largest egg banks in the United States (Fairfax EggBank)
