Kenny and Macca are joined live on air by Dr Hector Georgiou, Melbourne IVF, New laws on Surrogacy

Hector holds a PhD from Imperial College London in Reproductive Endocrinology. He undertook postgraduate training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at some of the most prestigious hospitals in Oxford and London, including highly competitive subspecialist training in Fertility and Reproductive Medicine. In addition, he completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and IVF at the Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne.

Part of his enthusiasm for practicing medicine comes from seeing research translated into clinical practice. His research has been highly cited in respected medical journals and has been incorporated in professional society guidelines that influence global IVF practice.

Hector holds a Clinical Senior Lectureship at the University of Melbourne, where his research focuses on luteal phase support and endometriosis. He is also leading a multidisciplinary team at the University of Oxford in the design and commercialization of a new egg collection needle, which has the capability to significantly boost egg numbers at IVF.

His special interests include fertility treatment for LGBTQIA+ couples, egg freezing, onco-fertility, PCOS, recurrent implantation failure, ovulation induction, age-related infertility and unexplained fertility.

Hector’s patients appreciate his accessibility, compassion and evidence-based approach to care.

Outside of work, Hector and his husband have recently adopted their beautiful Labrador Olive, and together they enjoy discovering new (doggie-friendly) brunch spots!
