World class egg banks like The World Egg Bank focus on the quality of care for patients donating eggs and the storage and handling of retrieved eggs. This requires a staff of well trained experts and doctors to setup procedures and protocols for the retrieval, storage and use of donor eggs. Dr. Luis A. Murrain Jr., a physician who has been at the center of fertility medicine, has agreed to join the team at The World Egg Bank to oversee egg retrieval at their state of the art facility in Arizona.
Dr. Luis A. Murrain Jr., M.D., D.O., FACMG, FACOG has joined The World Egg Bank (TWEB) as Medical Director. In this role, Dr. Murrain is responsible for all egg donor monitoring and retrievals ensuring TWEB’s proven quality and outcomes, and extraordinary egg donor care.
Dr. Murrain has been helping men and women realize their dream of building a family using 24-chromosome genetics testing of infertility and treatment for over a decade. He is a graduate of Michigan State University, College of Osteopathic Medicine. In 2002, he completed his internship at Genesys Regional Medical Center. His Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Summa Health Systems, Akron City Hospital was completed in 2006. After serving as Chief Resident, he received additional training by completing a fellowship in Reproductive Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center in New York and received extensive training in the genetics of infertility and became board-certified. He has also received training in In-Vitro Fertilization, Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection and Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis. In 2008, Dr. Murrain joined the GYFT Clinic, a fertility clinic in Tacoma, WA and later became the medical director.

“It is an exciting time in the Fertility Industry with the advancement and impressive outcomes seen specifically with the use of donor eggs. The World Egg Bank’s data is remarkable and I look forward to being part of their recent expansion to a singular focus, state of the art retrieval center”, said Dr. Murrain.
