Serena H. Chen

Dr. Serena H. Chen graduated from Brown University and earned her MD at Duke University School of Medicine. She completed her training in OB/GYN and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Chen was a founding partner of IRMS and served as Director for the Division of Reproductive Medicine at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center from 2003 to 2024. She is currently the Director of Advocacy at CCRM | IRMS.

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 Doctors for Fertility (DFF) because access to IVF continues to be very poor in the United States and is threatened by the current legal climate. DFF will be working to support the field of REI and all healthcare providers’ ability to treat their patients safely and effectively. DFF will advocate, educate and lobby in order to protect access to IVF and access to reproductive healthcare so physicians in America can continue to help people that struggle with infertility build their families.
