Midwest Fertility Physician Takes Top Prize for Research at National Conference


Erica Anspach Will, M.D., earns first place for research poster at 2017 American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Scientific Congress

Erica Anspach Will, M.D., a reproductive endocrinologist at Midwest Fertility Specialists, took first place for her research poster at the 2017 American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s (ASRM) Scientific Congress and Expo.

The conference is the premier education and research meeting for reproductive medicine. ASRM’s 2017 conference drew in nearly 9,000 attendees from 91 countries. The scientific component of the conference allows for new research in the field to be presented prior to publication.

Dr. Anspach Will’s research project, completed during her fellowship at The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services at UCONN Health, studied progesterone — a female hormone important in reproduction — and the receptors and pathways involved in signaling. Over 700 research posters were presented.
