Jiahui's "Clinical + Embryology" Golden Duo in Reproductive Medicine

In assisted reproduction, clinical management acts as a steady helmsman while embryology serves as a precise navigator. Both are essential to reach high success rates. At the Reproductive Medicine Center of Jiahui Health, two experts form a long-standing "golden duo," active for many years in the Reproductive Medicine Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association.

Professor Sun Xiaoxi: The Trailblazer in Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment

Professor Sun Xiaoxi is one of the most influential clinical experts in assisted reproduction in China. He served for many years as director of the Shanghai Ji'ai Genetics and Infertility Center, affiliated with the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, and now leads the Reproductive Medicine Center of Jiahui Health while remaining on the clinical frontline.

Many "first cases" he led are still discussed today. In 2011 he led the birth of Shanghai's first test-tube baby with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In February 2015 he led the birth of Shanghai's first test-tube baby with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS). PGS screens all 23 pairs of chromosomes before embryo implantation, accurately identifying embryos with normal chromosomes, which is especially suitable for recurrent miscarriage, repeated implantation failure, and carriers of chromosomal abnormalities.

Professor Sun has served as Chairman of the 2nd Committee, Immediate Past Chairman of the 3rd Committee, and Honorary Chairman of the 4th Committee of the Reproductive Medicine Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association. He is currently Deputy Director of the Shanghai Expert Committee on Human Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Director Sun Yijuan: The "Unsung Hero" of the Embryo Laboratory

If clinicians are the front desk, embryologists are the back office that determines success or failure. Director Sun Yijuan is a top embryologist in China, with deep expertise in embryo culture, micromanipulation, embryo biopsy, and embryonic genetic screening. She is Laboratory Director of the Reproductive Medicine Center of Jiahui Health.

She played a crucial role in implementing PGD and PGS at the Ji'ai Center; the birth of Shanghai's first PGS test-tube baby resulted directly from her close cooperation with Professor Sun Xiaoxi. She authored the Chinese Experts' Consensus on the Number of Embryo Transfers and participated in the 10-Year Survey Report on Birth Defects of Test-Tube Babies in Shanghai and the Experts' Opinions on the Diagnostic and Grading Standards for Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) in Shanghai.

Clinical + Embryology: A Complete Closed Loop

At the center, patients experience not a one-way process but a collaborative model integrating clinical practice and embryology. Professor Sun Xiaoxi handles comprehensive patient assessment, individualized ovulation induction, and key steps such as oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer. Director Sun Yijuan leads the laboratory team on embryo culture, biopsy, cryopreservation, and genetic screening. The two teams communicate closely and adjust strategy according to embryo development, forming a complete loop from patient to embryo to transfer. The advantages are especially clear in complex cases involving advanced age, repeated failures, or chromosomal abnormalities.

Both doctors have long been active in the Reproductive Medicine Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association, established in 2012, which has witnessed Shanghai's assisted reproductive technology grow from Shanghai's first test-tube baby in 1995 to the first PGS baby in 2015 and beyond.

Whether you are considering assisted reproduction or seeking a new direction after multiple failures, a proven team is here to accompany you. If you are looking for high-quality, affordable medical care in China, consider the options at Jiahui Health.
