Csilla Krausz obtained her MD in 1990 and her specialization in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases in 1995 at the University of Florence, Italy; and her PhD in Human Genetics in 2001 at the Pasteur Institute/University Paris 7, France. Currently she is Professor in Endocrinology and research group leader at the University of Florence, Italy and co-director of the Florence European Academy of Andrology (EAA) Training Center in Andrology. Her first research field was spermatology with special interest in oxidative stress and functional sperm parameters. Starting from 1995 she is focusing on genetics and epigenetics of male infertility, hypogonadism, cryptorchidism, testis tumor and genomic instability of the male gamete. Her major scientific achievements concern the X and Y chromosome-linked CNVs (deletions) and their clinical significance. She is author of more than 140 scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals and her H citation index is 43. According to a recent worldwide survey, she is among the top 20 most productive authors on male infertility research from 1995. She is an Academician of the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) and in 2014 has been elected as the President of the EAA for the period 2014- 2018.

Fear and sadness are embedded with Fanconi anemia (FA), yet I have always tried to have a hopeful tone to my essays thinking of the effect on the families who read it. This one is no different. I lost my gutsy 24-year-old daughter Tara in September. She was created by God for purpose. I always told her she brought out the best in people.
These projects, made possible through the commitment of FCF and our funding partner, Fanconi Canada, advance collaborative research that is improving early detection, guiding cancer prevention strategies, and laying the groundwork for future treatments.
