Biography

Liza Johannesson, MD, PhD, is a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology and a uterus transplant surgeon. She also serves as the Medical Director of the Uterus Transplant Program at Baylor ... University Medical Center in Dallas.  Early in her career she had a great passion for women's health. Following her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, she started working with gynecologic cancer surgery. There she met women where their uterus had to be removed and with that not only the cancer but also the ability to become pregnant. She saw first hand how devastating infertility can be and that sparked an interest in research. She presented her PhD thesis on uterus transplantation in animal models in Sweden, in 2012.  Shortly thereafter, her and her team were able to successfully transplant a woman with a uterus from a living donor. With that transplant, they were able to deliver the first baby in the world after uterus transplantation.  Today, only a few medical institutions in the world offer uterus transplantation, and Baylor University Medical Center is one of them.  With research and innovation, we push the limits for what is possible every day and we give hope of a family, to thousands of women. The most rewarding part of her job is when she's in the delivery room and sees the indescribable joy in the patients eyes when they look at their child for the first time.
