Georgia Regents University joins Cooperative Multicenter Reproductive Medicine Network

The Georgia Regents University has joined a national research cooperative designed to establish large clinical trials with a focus on improving the diagnosis and treatment of reproductive disorders, according to a press release.

“These types of trials answer important questions about the care of infertile couples and they allow us to offer services to the community that would not otherwise be available,” Michael P. Diamond, MD, reproductive endocrinologist and chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the Medical College of Georgia at GRU, said in a press release.

Stephen A. Krawetz, PhD, associate director of the C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development at Wayne State University, and Lawrence C. Layman, MD, section chief of reproductive endocrinology, infertility, and genetics at the Medical College of Georgia at GRU, will join Diamond in the partnership, according to the press release.

Male infertility, delayed puberty, and polycystic ovary syndrome are just some reproductive disorders the University and Cooperative Multicenter Reproductive Medicine Network plan to study.

“The large number of patients and investigators involved with this network enable novel diagnostic and treatment strategies for complex reproductive system issues to move forward with the greatest possible safety and efficiency,” Diamond said. “We are excited to be part of this national initiative.”
