Dr. Dina Radenkovic Turner, the biotech visionary reimagining fertility care for women.

Born in wartime Serbia, Turner’s love of science took her to the UK, where she graduated top of her class in medicine at UCL and trained in major London hospitals.

In 2021, she co-founded Gameto, a biotech using cell engineering to modernize reproductive medicine. Its lead program, Fertilo, reduces about 80% of the hormone injections required in traditional IVF, cutting the egg-maturation phase from 14 days to just 3.

Remember, traditional IVF requires women to take two weeks of strong hormone injections so their eggs can fully mature. It’s effective, but often brings bloating, pain, mood swings, and frequent clinic visits.

Recently, Gameto made history in Australia: a woman became pregnant using eggs matured outside her body, thanks to lab-grown ovarian support cells. The mother called the process “far gentler” - fewer shots, less strain.

Backed by $127M in funding, Turner says her mission is simple but overdue: to build the kind of science women should have had decades ago - care that honors their bodies and expands their choices.

Fully agree with the mission!
