After graduating, in 1972, he specialised in the treatment of infertility. Opening his first infertility clinic in the early 1980s. In 1989 he controversially implanted a donor egg into a post menopausal woman, and then in 1994 carried out IVF in a 62 year old. She gave birth at 63, the oldest woman to do so at the time. After the birth of the cloned sheep Dolly, Antinori became a vocal proponent of reproductive human cloning, which is illegal in the EU. In 2002 he claimed to have impregnated a woman with cloned embryos, although this has never been verified.
