Professor Li Rong

Department Head, specializing in reproductive endocrinology and thin endometrium

Research areas: Reproductive endocrine disorders (polycystic ovary syndrome, primary ovarian insufficiency), female fertility assessment and protection, treatment of thin endometrium, and recurrent implantation failure in assisted reproductive technologies.

Cutting-edge technologies: First internationally reported the crucial role of elevated levels of autoimmune antibodies JO-1 and PR3 in the pathogenesis of primary ovarian insufficiency, and discovered that mitochondrial MT-CO1 gene mutations are one of the important causes of the disease. Led the world's first registered clinical trial, "Autologous fat vascular matrix component intrauterine perfusion for the treatment of thin endometrium," increasing the assisted pregnancy rate to 3% in women with damaged endometrium who do not respond to conventional treatments. Led the development of OvaRePred, the world's first AI tool for ovarian function assessment, which has been used by over 20,000 people in more than 42 countries and regions worldwide.

Areas of expertise: Polycystic ovary syndrome, female fertility assessment and protection, recurrent implantation failure in assisted reproductive technology treatment, and infertility.

Academic Highlights and Core Values: Chief Physician, Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, Vice President and Director of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at Peking University Third Hospital. Recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, President-Elect of the Chinese Society of Reproductive Medicine, and Vice President of the Asia-Pacific Society for Reproductive Medicine. He has led multiple national key research projects, published 12 papers in top international journals such as Lancet and Nature, and edited 13 monographs; participated in the development of 2 international guidelines and spearheaded the development of 17 Chinese expert consensus and clinical guidelines; received numerous national and provincial-level honors, including the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the National Natural Science Award, and achieved 15 technology transfers. In 2022, he was awarded the title of "Capital Health Guardian."
