Aya Tal is an Associate Research Scientist at Yale University's Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences. She holds a PhD in Cellular, Molecular & Developmental Biology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (2011). Her research focuses on reproductive biology, endometriosis, stem cell biology, and hormonal therapies, with a particular emphasis on understanding mechanisms underlying infertility, ovarian reserve, and endometrial pathology.
Her work includes studies on bone marrow cell trafficking in endometriosis, the role of mesenchymal stem cells in disease dissemination, and clinical trials evaluating estrogen therapy and IVF success rates. She collaborates with prominent researchers such as Hugh Taylor, Myles Alderman, and Diane Krause. Key findings include identifying CXCR antagonists as potential treatments for endometriosis and discovering that adult bone marrow progenitors contribute to decidual cells during pregnancy.
Publications span high-impact journals like PLOS Biology, Stem Cells, and JAMA Internal Medicine, with a focus on translational research linking basic science to clinical applications in reproductive health. Her research bridges cell biology, immunology, and endocrinology to address unresolved questions in reproductive medicine.
