In 1998 he achieved, in Istanbul, the world’s first childbirth after oocyte fertilization with spermatids obtained by in vitro spermatogenesis. He developed an original technique for nuclear transfer in mature human oocytes (Rome, 2000) and achieved the first fertilizable human “artificial oocytes” reconstructed from somatic cell nuclei and donor ooplasts (Sao Paulo, 2001).
