with Sherman Silber, this technique was later extended to women using tissue or the entire ovary transplanted from an identical twin. , there had been 86 live-births and were 9 on-going pregnancies directly as a result of these types of ovarian tissue transplantation. Gosden was a scientific advisor to Celmatix, Inc., which was founded by his former student. He spoke out against the controversial claims made by OvaScience, a company founded in 2012, that it could help older women conceive using putative oogonial stem cells. Personal life Gosden married Carole Ann Walsh in 1971 and they had two sons before their divorce in 2003. In 2004 he married Lucinda Veeck, whom he had met at the Jones Institute in Norfolk when she was working there. In the same year he moved to New York to work at Weill Cornell Medicine, where Veeck was director of clinical embryology. In 2010, they both moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, where they run an independent publishing company, Jamestowne Bookworks, which Gosden opened as outlet for his own works, to allow him to control his own works after a life of assigning copyright to biomedical publishers, and to publish other people's work that interested him.
