FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEPROMINENT DELAWARE FERTILITY DOCTOR TO SPEAK AT MARCH OF DIMES ANNUAL PREMATURITY SUMMITDr. Ronald Feinberg to Address New Fertility Care Strategies For Achieving Healthier Pregnancy OutcomesNEWARK, DE – October 20, 2006 – Reproductive Associates of Delaware (RAD), a leading fertility care center in the U.S., today announced that their IVF Medical Director, Ronald F. Feinberg MD, PhD will be a plenary speaker at the Third Annual Prematurity Summit hosted by the March of Dimes Delaware Chapter on November, 8th at 10:30 AM. The entire event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, and is being offered as a continuing education opportunity for all healthcare professionals. The focus of the Summit, entitled, “Nature vs. Nurture: The Problem, The Research and the Consequences of Premature Birth,” is to bring people together across the state to address the escalating problem of premature birth in Delaware, and the impact it has on the local community. “Fertility care has been traditionally blamed as a major contributor to the worldwide prematurity problem,” stated Dr. Feinberg, “But I hope to show that effective, strategic fertility care can actually reduce the risk. Newer techniques such as single embryo transfer, focused pre-conception care, and diligent minimally-invasive restorative surgery are the keys to healthier pregnancy outcomes. I applaud the March of Dimes for promoting this vital dialog.” Dr. Feinberg was a previous research grant recipient from the March of Dimes while on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. He was the co-discoverer of a protein produced by placental cells — oncofetal fibronectin — which now forms the basis of a clinical test used to identify and minimize risk of premature birth. This unique protein is also produced by early embryos prior to implantation. Registration is $50 and includes breakfast, lunch and continuing education credits. To register for the Summit, visit March of Dimes, Delaware Chapter or call 302.225.1020. Registration deadline is November 3rd.
