Dr. Woodruff has been recognized for her outstanding contributions to women's health research. She founded the field of oncofertility in 2006, sparking research into the reproductive options of cancer patients and cancer survivors.
Coining the term oncofertility — the blend of oncology and fertility — Dr. Woodruff, the new provost at Michigan State University, created a now widely-recognized medical field that strives to explore and expand the reproductive options of cancer patients and cancer survivors.
