Roger V. Short Lecture: AMH in Follicles, Fertility, and Felines
Join us for an illuminating session with David Pépin, PhD, (Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and 2025 Roger V. Short Medal recipient) as he reveals how Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is being harnessed to redefine reproductive medicine. Moving beyond traditional methods, Dr. Pépin will discuss his lab’s groundbreaking work in “follicle pausing”—a mechanism that enables innovative approaches to non-hormonal contraception and the protection of ovarian and uterine health during chemotherapy. From pioneering gene therapy in felines to engineering small-molecule agonists for human health, this lecture explores a translational pipeline designed to preserve fertility and improve women’s endocrine health across the lifespan.
