Serena H. Chen MD

Serena H. Chen, MD, graduated from Brown University and earned her MD at Duke University School of Medicine. She trained in Gynecology, Obstetrics, Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and served as Director for the Division of Reproductive Medicine at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science for over 21 years. She is currently the Director of Advocacy at CCRM New Jersey. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at Rutgers NJ Medical School and Rutgers RWJ Medical School.

She has served on the ASRM Technology Committee and on the editorial staff of the ASRM journal Fertility and Sterility as an Interactive Associate on the Media Team. She is a founding member of the ASRM Social Media SIG and works to promote physician use of social media for awareness, patient education, and advocacy.

Dr. Chen strongly supports her patients’ right to be informed and involved in their own care. She is passionate about access to treatment for infertility and fertility preservation for all. She is proud, honored, and privileged to have played a role in obtaining better access to IVF and egg freezing for the people of NJ. She won the RESOLVE Hope Award for Advocacy in 2020 for this work.

Dr. Chen helped to found DoctorsforFertility.org – DFF – and the DFF PAC because access to IVF continues to be very poor in the United States, and is threatened by the current legal climate. DFF PAC will work to elect candidates that will protect access to IVF and access to reproductive healthcare so physicians in America can continue to help people who struggle with infertility build their families. DFF will raise awareness, educate, and lobby for the protection of IVF and better access to the treatment of infertility without bias and discrimination.
