In Memoriam of Dr Paul Winig

Dr. Kiessling and Dr. Winig standing next to the mobile fertility clinic initially used for couples during the pilot program that proved the safety of SPAR. A mobile unit was required because hospitals, infertility clinics and day surgeries would not perform fertility treatments for couples living with HIV disease. The Foundation was originally named the Assisted Reproduction Foundation (ARF).

Dr. Paul Winig, a long time collaborator and benefactor passed away on September 9th, 2018. Dr. Winig was a key collaborator and founder of SPAR, as well as a participant in the stem cell research programs since the early 2000s at the Foundation. A dedicated obstetrician, gynecologist and researcher, he had a passion for being “behind the scenes” for medical science.

A full obituary of his extraordinary life and accomplishments is posted on the Boston Globe’s obituary website.

We are grateful to have known him and worked with him. He is deeply missed.
