John Leeton was described by Carl Wood as the 'linchpin' of the Monash IVF program. He developed and managed the early Monash clinical research programs, which included the world's first IVF pregnancy, many of the world's earliest IVF babies, the world's first donor egg baby and Australia's first IVF surrogate pregnancy. He retired in 2001 and was awarded a Member of Australia in 2002 for his contribution to women's health.
