Talking to a fertility
doctor could be
the start of
something small.
Merck is committed to helping fertility patients. One small part of that dedication is
the Start of Something Small Educational Campaign designed to encourage women
to seek advice from a fertility specialist. We also have online tools,
a fertility clinic locator, and many other resources for OB/GYN offices.

WELCOME
I would like to personally welcome you to San Diego and the
68th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive
Medicine.
This year’s meeting theme, “Setting the Course in
Reproductive Medicine,” reflects the focus of the meeting with
state-of-the-art plenary and symposium presentations on areas
of broad interest such as assisted reproductive technologies,
contraception, obesity, environmental toxins, surgical
challenges, fertility preservation, stem cells, reproductive
genetics, urology, psychosocial aspects, and the newest
research advances in our field. Indeed, Dr. Bob Oates, together
with the Scientific Program Committee, has developed a superb
program that addresses the clinical and research challenges of all aspects of reproductive
medicine.

AWARDS
American Society for Reproductive Medicine 2012 Society Awards
Distinguished Researcher Award
The 2012 recipient of the ASRM Distinguished Researcher Award is Serdar E. Bulun,
M.D., John J. Sciarra Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Bulun has
had a distinguished career in both clinical obstetrics and gynecology and in basic
and clinical research in the area of estrogen-responsive abnormalities of the uterus. He
has made a significant global impact on medicine via pioneering contributions to the
epigenetics, pathology and therapeutic aspects of steroid production and action in
understudied areas of gynecology, namely, endometriosis and uterine fibroids, which
impact some 15 million US women. At the bench, he revolutionized our understanding
of the molecular basis of endometriosis and, at the bedside, single-handedly
introduced aromatase inhibitors as an effective and novel class of drugs to treat
it. He demonstrated progesterone resistance as a key mechanism in endometriosis
Serdar E. Bulun, M.D.
and infertility. To support his research endeavors, Dr. Bulun has secured more than $20
million in federal funding. He has published more than 140 peer-reviewed articles and trained 38 pre- and postdoctoral students. As a leader in our field, he serves as a role model for the physician-scientists in reproductive
endocrinology-infertility.
Ira and Ester Rosenwaks New Investigator Award
(supported by an endowment from Zev Rosenwaks, M.D.)
Clarisa R. Gracia, M.D., M.S.C.E., has been selected as the 2012 recipient of the Ira and
Ester Rosenwaks New Investigator Award. This award recognizes a member of ASRM
who has made outstanding contributions to clinical or basic research in reproductive
sciences published within 10 years after completing research or clinical training and
initiating an independent career as an investigator. Dr. Gracia is Associate Professor
of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of
Medicine, where she has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed articles and obtained
a prestigious R01 grant in the area of fertility preservation. Her primary research focus
is on ovarian aging, either “natural” or “induced” as part of gonadotoxic cancer
treatments. She has been able to demonstrate that measures of ovarian reserve are
impaired in cancer survivors in a dose-dependent fashion. Dr. Gracia also serves on
the ASRM Practice Committee.
Clarisa R. Gracia, M.D.,
M.S.C.E.
Suheil J. Muasher, M.D., Distinguished Service Award
(supported by an endowment from Suheil J. Muasher, M.D.)
Each year ASRM honors individuals or organizations that have provided distinguished
service to ASRM. Recipients are selected based on their scientific, leadership,
organizational, political or societal service contributions to ASRM, reproductive
medicine and/or reproductive medicine patients. In 2012 ASRM honors Eli Reshef, M.D.,
a member of the Society who has labored tirelessly to advocate for open access to
reproductive health care for all who desire to build families. Through his and others’
efforts, legislation impinging on individuals’ reproductive freedom was thwarted.
Eli Reshef, M.D.

AWARDS
SOCIETY FOR REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY AND INFERTILITY, NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE INSTITUTIONAL
TRAINING AWARD (T32)
The Society for Reproductive Endocrinology was awarded a competitive training grant from the National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development to provide reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellows
with specialized training in reproductive medicine and biology. Ten Board-approved REI fellowship programs
currently participate in the program, which is administered through the University of Pennsylvania. Each year,
REI fellows are awarded 1- or 2-year NIH traineeships to conduct cutting edge research in the laboratories of
NIH-funded investigators. In the final year of training, fellows present their research in the ASRM Annual Meeting
Scientific Program. For 2012, the new trainee is: Kasey Reynolds, M.D., Washington University in St. Louis. The title
of her project is “The Effect of Obese Maternal Environment on Reproductive Outcomes Begins at the Oocyte
Stage” and her mentor is Kelle Moley, M.D.
ASRM/NIH/Duke Clinical Research/Reproductive Scientist Training (CREST) Program
The CREST training program is offered by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD), the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) at Duke University, and the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). This two-year program meets an existing need for physicians in private or
academic clinical practice to obtain formalized academic training in the quantitative and methodological
principles of clinical research in reproductive medicine. The members of the new Class of 2012 – 2014 are:
Joshua J. Berger, M.D. (Kaiser Permanente), Mary Elizabeth Fino, M.D. (New York University), Heather Huddleston,
M.D. (University of California San Francisco), Christine M. Mullin, M.D. (North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health
System), and Andrea Reh, M.D. (Dominion Fertility).
Society for Male Reproduction and Urology Traveling Scholars Program
The annual Society for Male Reproduction and Urology Traveling Scholars Program allows a diverse group
of young clinical physicians and basic science researchers the opportunity to explore a career in male
reproductive medicine. The primary purpose of the program is to stimulate the scientific interests of residents
and fellow in the study of male reproduction. Scholars are selected by the SMRU Research Committee based
on the scores of their abstracts submitted for the Scientific Program. Each awardee will present an oral abstract
on Tuesday, October 23rd, 4:15 pm – 5:45 pm. The 2012 Scholars are: L. A. Ross, D. C. Snow-Lisy, B. B. Nayarit, M.
Afeiche, L. C. Jenkins, and E. Goldenberg.
ASRM Resident/Fellow In-training Award for Research in Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
(supported by a grant from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)
A grant of $10,000 was awarded to a resident or fellow in obstetrics and gynecology to conduct an innovative,
short-term research project focused on heavy menstrual bleeding. Competitive selection of the recipient was
made by the ASRM Research Committee based primarily on the scientific merit of the proposed study and
the applicant’s potential for continued scholarship and research. The 2012 awardee is Cpt. Gary Levy, M.D.
(Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellow, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development) for his project titled “Ulipristal acetate for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding.”
ASRM Research Grants

OVARIAN RESERVE: REGULATION AND
IMPLICATIONS FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH
Sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine
Thursday, October 25, 2012 • 7:30 am – 3:30 pm
Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel • San Diego, CA
Organizing Committee: David Albertini, Clarisa Gracia, Andrew La Barbera,
Charisee Lamar, Robert Rebar, Susan Taymans
NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND DESCRIPTION
Only a tiny fraction of the ovarian primordial follicles present at birth will survive to mature and
ovulate. This pool of follicles is the ovarian reserve. In theory, snapshots of ovarian reserve over time
might indicate a woman’s maximum reproductive potential and the time remaining until menopause,
with critical implications for women’s fertility and overall health. However, the biomarkers of ovarian
reserve that are currently available are not adequate to make such predictions. This live conference
of reproductive medicine physicians and reproductive biologists will address current questions
surrounding ovarian reserve: How is the follicle pool established and regulated? What is the stateof-the-science for the measurement of ovarian reserve, and can we develop robust predictive
measurements? What are the possible clinical implications of measures of ovarian reserve? How do
reproductive or systemic diseases and their treatment affect ovarian reserve? What is the future of
science in the realm of ovarian reserve, in terms of measurement, clinical implications, and potential for
manipulation?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the establishment and regulation of the primordial follicle pool.
2. Critically assess biomarkers of and methods to estimate ovarian reserve.
3. Discuss the implications of diminished ovarian reserve to a woman’s health and fertility.
4. Speculate on how might advances in gene profiling and stem cell biology extend or restore
fertility in aging or disease states.
